People are used to Wikipedia............the layout is superb, content is good and editing is open to everyone.<BR/><BR/>Knol has a very weak layout. For example, it doesn't even fit into my 15" monitor, I have to scroll through horizontally. And........giving the article a credit to someone.......seems too egoistic.<BR/><BR/>One more disadvantage is that it is SLOWER & SLUGGISH than WikipediaS.L.Debnathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03863650071903170124noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18157064.post-3523124928350161252008-07-23T16:25:00.000-07:002008-07-23T16:25:00.000-07:00In what way is this not a Wikipedia-killer?In what way is this not a Wikipedia-killer?KenBW2https://www.blogger.com/profile/15719247038394989297noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18157064.post-70718561196914028382008-07-23T15:37:00.000-07:002008-07-23T15:37:00.000-07:00If anyone is interested in purchasing http://www.o...If anyone is interested in purchasing http://www.oondi.com which is a website similar to Google Knol, send an e-mail to info [AT] oondi [DOT] com.

If nothing else, it will definitely be a rich information source for Google Health medical conditions info. I wonder if this will be heavily weighted toward scientific/medical type content.<BR/><BR/>Seems promising though. I hope it becomes a reliable source of information. Interesting that aside from the URL, the Google branding is almost nowhere to be found.<BR/><BR/>I also wonder how efficient it will be when searching for information on very popular topics where Wikipedia has one specific page for a topic with references to others. The Knol model will potentially have several (maybe a lot of) pages for the same subject.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18157064.post-67368686640803139532008-07-23T14:13:00.000-07:002008-07-23T14:13:00.000-07:00While the WYSIWYG editor surely gives an 'easier' ...While the WYSIWYG editor surely gives an 'easier' Word-like experience to the users, I think Wikipedia's approach is superior. By usage of simple html, templates, classes and stylistic guidelines, Wikipedia articles have a consistent look throughout. In Knol some articles use colours for references and some do not, some indent paragraphs and some do not, some just are uncatchy walls of text better suited for a book than a webpage.<BR/><BR/>Word-like WYSIWYG interfaces might be easier, but TEX-like engines do tend to output more consistent and higher quality output.<BR/><BR/>I don't know whether the actual quality of content on Know will make up for this, but it will be probably a pain to make sure that the best content will look its best.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
