The Giant Google with its ‘Knol’

Last night on the official Google blog announced that Google is testing a publishing platform called Knol. It is a wiki-like personal publishing platform and a webpage for authors, who can create topics, and also can interlink their articles and content. Its like Google giving a platform for each writers. Where it differs from a wiki is its focus on the author because a page may have many authors.

Knolls are not like collaboration system, it will highlight who wrote the particular article or content. Its also like a blog, but much more poised and integrated.

If any surfer likes a knoller writings, the surfer can able to read more articles written by that person or Knoller in Google terms. It’s like new name for writers, knollers. Its somewhat different from all other encyclopedias and it is a take on knowledge collection, the comparisons are apt.

Google goes on doing more research to make the internet user friendly. We the people getting more benefits for it…

Hats off to Google….
