Last year Google announced the new Knol website and now it is finally there. And I have to say it looks interesting. It is a lot like Wikipedia but also very different.
The big differences are in the fact that on Wikipedia you do not know who had written the article. But on Knol this information is visible for everyone. It is possible on Knol to allow more people to work on an article or to only give advice to the creator of the article.
Another nice feature is that you can add comments or reactions on an article as a Knol visitor. You can also rate the article which we help Knol to understand the quality of it.
I will definitely keep a close watch on how Knol will be growing. Will it be a danger for Wikipedia, which had some problems in the last year about the quality of the articles, or will Knol just be another website from Google which just does not grow up. We will see..
