Write Great Google Knols

I’d be remiss if I didn’t point to a bit of mainstream media coverage of the Google announcement. Here’s what the New York Times had to say:

Despite the existence of these services, as well as countless free tools for experts and ordinary people alike to share what they know online, Mr. Manber said Google thought many people who possessed useful knowledge did not publish it “because it is not easy enough to do that.”

Google declined to make Mr. Manber or anyone else available to discuss Knol, saying the project was an experiment that like many Google tests, might never be opened to the public.

Wow, “might never be opened to the public”, eh? That’d make this blog a big waste of time.
