  • darrickc, on 07/23/2008, -0/+2I don't knol about this one...
  • wikwam, on 07/24/2008, -1/+3I love how google's put at the top of the bag o' knols 'Who needs a search engine? Ctrl+F'
  • jasoninoakland, on 07/23/2008, -0/+2Similar to Hubpages and Squidoo, except it seems there are fewer module options. They are going to have a bitch of a time keeping the spam out. Wikipedia built its community of mods from the ground up, and sites like Hubpages have people on staff to do it.
  • DanielQ, on 07/23/2008, -0/+2I thought they said they were never getting into the content business. Eh.
  • Standaman, on 07/24/2008, -0/+1Umm... where's the 2.0 logo? Is that Times New Roman? How old school.

    Oh wait, at least they put the "BETA" stamp on it.
  • inactive, on 07/24/2008, -0/+1no we must say "Google Wiki" be smart :)
  • blonkm, on 07/24/2008, -0/+0I don't know. Knol is Dutch for 'ugly horse'. And... cartoons to make your point??
  • buckchoris, on 07/23/2008, -1/+1If its written by experts I totally welcome it,I don't care if google is trying to monopolize the web or not.
