Google Knol: Encyclopedia Extraordinaire
Google announced today the launch of their own Encyclopedia. Called Google Knol (a Knol being a unit of knowledge) the work is designed to attract, and collect articles from, authorities in a diverse range of technical fields of knowledge.
According to Google, "Our goal is to encourage people who know a particular subject to write an authoritative article about it."
The project has only been active with a select group of participants beginning earlier this week, and is still in its first phase of testing; however, look for updates here as they become available. We expect great things with Google Knol, and you can expect to hear about them here.
