Google’s Knol Initiative - the Unwiki?
Published January 1st, 1970
Google is launching a new effort to capture human knowledge on the Web, test-driving Google Knol, a Web-publishing approach that is drawing comparisons to Wikipedia. A “knol,” according to Google, is a unit of information or knowledge, and the new publishing platform is being tested by individuals who have been invited to take part in a beta version, the search giant said Thursday. Udi Manber, a vice president of engineering at Google, said in a post to the official Google blog that the aim of Knol is to help bring some order to the vast amount of human knowledge being shared online.
