    Google Site May Challenge Wikipedia

    Google is testing an Internet site for sharing knowledge about any subject under the sun, one that could eventually compete with Wikipedia.

    Google's "knol" project started earlier this week.

        good timing!

        The First Knol, the Angels did say
        Was to certain poor shepherds in fields as they lay
        In fields where they lay keeping their sheep
        On a cold winter's night that was so deep.
        Knol, Knol, Knol, Knol
        Born is the King of Israel!

                I don't know. At one time we probably said the exact same thing about Lycos and Alta Vista.

                And considering Google can give its own project premium placements... I wouldn't count them out.

                    Highly ranked entries will receive preferred page ranking from Google, although the company claims it will not be involved with the editing of entries.
                    ...and yet people still ask me "Why do you need all those Google accounts?"

                      I think this will be very successful for Google. They are a household name beyond wikipedia(i like wikipedia also) but google will catch up and improve on wikipedia- watch!!

                          You people do realize that Google is not trying to compete with wikipedia, right? The product is totally different.

                          And think about it for a second, if Knol starts ranking good in Google, how exactly is it a bad thing for webmasters?

                          Think about that one.

                                knol sounds totally stupid


                                on the other hand, google can tweak their algo a bit, and wikipedia is history
