I think I'm probably missing some elements of how
Knol works... Anyone can
create their own version of an article about something? And only pagerank
and the starred rating determines which you see first? Won't they have an
impossible noise problem?
Also, how do they deal with crap like this:
http://knol.google.com/k/graham-colditz-md-drph/cancer-prevention/bzml3lSg/…
"Eight Ways To Prevent Cancer"?
Sorting through noise is exactly what made Google famous, and what
they do best. Lack of signal might be a problem, but I don't think
noise will be.
Lastly, whats the import of the Creative Commons
license they use? The
articles I've seen are all CC-BY 3.0 - we can reuse content under that
license, can't we?
Sure, as long as you follow the license.
