Google's "Knol" Reinvents Wikipedia
teslatug writes "Google appears to be reinventing Wikipedia with their new product that they call knol (not yet publicly available). In an attempt to gather human knowledge, Google will accept articles from users who will be credited with the article by name. If they want, they can allow ads to appear alongside the content and they will be getting a share of the profits if that's the case. Other users will be allowed to rate, edit or comment on the articles. The content does not have to be exclusive to Google but no mention is made on any license for it. Is this a better model for free information gathering?"

Lisa: Aw, you clicked the cart! [Marge stops clicking]
Marge: If you're so smart, you do it. [Bart hits one button and the right website appears on the screen. Marge groans.]
In the summary is says "with their new product that they call knol (not yet publicly available)"
Did anyone else see this as an acronym, and then get all confused when the words didnt fit the letters ?
They should call it NYPA instead, and get the village people to sing the promo song.

I said, young man, pick your brain off the ground.
