Google , who will not be satisfied until it owns pretty much every major internet site on the net , has its flock set on Wikipedia . No , it does n’t want to purchase the gigantic , credibility - challenge cyclopaedia . It desire to flummox it at its own secret plan . That ’s why Google is developing Knol , an capable cyclopaedia that aims to take some credibleness to the genre while , yes , bringing in some more coin to the big G.
Knol will still allow anyone to tally entries , just like Wikipedia , but it ’ll earmark multitude to have bylines and author profiles so you know just who is pretty much writing your term paper for you . A professor at Cal State ? Awesome ! Some shut - in from North Dakota ? Better get a new source . It ’ll also have improved cite creature and allow people to rate Knols for accuracy .
In addition to making writer public , Knol will give masses incentive to partake their cognition by giving them the option of putting ad on the entries they author . If they do , they ’ll get a percentage of the tax income that those advertizement generate . If an author does n’t want ads on their page , they can keep it ad - free .
When the project launch , look for “ Knols ” to fall up at the top of search results when you search for , well , passably much everything . Will that automatic Zen of enormous pic , increased transparency and financial incentive service Knol take the mighty Wikipedia down a notch or two ? prison term will order , but it certainly seems like an interesting take on the conception .
