Why does everyone compare Google Knol to Wikipedia? There is a difference. Wikipedia is an Encyclopedia, but Knol is more than that. That’s why you see opinion writing, and how-to articles, and so on-on knol. When you write an opinion, you are still sharing some kind of knowledge about what you think you know. When you write about how to sell a product, you are writing about what you know and maybe some experience. When you write about an invention, you are sharing your knowledge of your invention. Knol is about a number of things mingled with knowledge.
Google Knol is all about new knowledge. There may be knowledge written by an author that an encyclopedia doesn’t have. Does Wikipedia write about your inventions? Are you’re projects written in an encyclopedia? Google Knol has knowledge written that may only be found at Google Knol. Brilliant authors and writers may be Knol’s future, and Knol may be an author’s new and improved kind of encyclopedia. It's Knol and no one else.
