Google's KNOL - is it a WikiPedia Competitor ? -
Googls is testing KNOL, which is short for knowledge, would allow people to create Web pages on any topic. It is designed to include features that permit readers to submit comments, rate pages and suggest changes. However, unlike Wikipedia, which allows anyone to edit an entry, only the author of a “knol,” as the pages in the service would be called, would be allowed to edit. Different authors could have competing pages on the same topic. Google said that a main idea behind the project was to bring attention to authors who have expertise on a particular topic.
