Knol v. Wikipedia? Not even Close
Submitted by Cathy Davidson on Aug 11, 2008, 08:02 PM
I've been following the development of Knol and, well, I don't like it. Despite all Google's efforts to put its own media and content-provider right up there with Wikipedia when I do a Google search, I find Knol entries typically self-promoting and lacking all of the interesting debates that make Wikipedia exciting. They also tend to be very Western-centered, more infomercials than information.
