Google is working hard on it new project Knol
Knol stands for knowledge. If your are guessing it as wikipedia then you are right. Unlike wikipedia google will soon open it up for everyone. Currently it is on invitation only, as it is on testing. There is this wikipedia where there are articles on a subject written and edited by two or more people whereas knol is a user based ‘wiki’ edited and written by a ‘particular person’. Google will give advantages like showing up adsense or advertising from third party.
Though this will be a success in itself but question arises that will it be a quality article?.
Wikipedia has done incredibly well because it a subject is edited by many people and thus has a good share of knowledge and balancing its quality and accuracy of correctness on a subject . Now that knol is written and edited by one person sharing his/her id – there is a small risk. But that should not be worrying much!.
Rest see after its launch! How it works…..
