Maybe I’m taking this Knol thing too far.

But I just think it is very cool.  Take a look at my Judaism knol and you will see a very interesting conversation going on in the comments.  This is the kind of thing that I love about the internet.

I even started a Knol Blog today on blogger.  Can’t wait to see what will happen with it.



Excited About Knols

July 26th, 2008 . by Aaron

Google just came out with a new service called Knol.  It seems their idea is to make a sort of Wikipedia that is written by individual authors instead of by community collaboration.  With Wikipedia, there can only be one ariticle on any given subject, and it is the job of the community to maintain it in an accurate state.

The Idea of Knol, is to allow anyone to write on any topic.  Over time, the articles that are accurate and informative will rise to the top through community ranking and commenting.   This ultimately allows authors, who publish under their real name, to establish credability in their field.

I am very excited about this.  I love to share what I know with others.  I think this Knol thing is going to become a really great platform to do it.  Here are my first two contributions:
