GOOGLE TO GIVE WIKIPEDIA A RUN FOR ITS MONEY

December 17th 2007 11:20

Google will take on the world’s most popular encyclopaedia Wikipedia with the launch of Knol, an online, user-generated and user-edited learning site.
VNU Net reports that users will have access to 'easy editing tools' with Google hosting the service and ensuring Knol content is ranked appropriately in the online search engine’s search results.
In contrast to Wikipedia, Knol will highlight the authors of each entry by publishing their profiles.
Google’s primary aim is for Knol to cover all topics, from scientific concepts, and medical information to how-to-fix-it instructions, but it acknowledges that Google will not be able to guarantee that all entries are of the highest quality, with completely open levels of participation.
