Is Knol slightly more popular than Citizendium, then?
I expect so, it has the advantage of having a big name behind it (Google). I'm not sure any comparable statistics are publicly available for the two sites, though, so it may be impossible to know for sure.

Folks,
Neither is in the top five for online Encyclopedias.
http://econsultancy.com/blog/3185-wikipedia-has-97-of-the-encyclopedia-marke...
According to this study of US visits, it is Wikipedia first with just under 97 per cent and daylight second.
Encarta is the only other encyclopedia with over 1% at 1.25%. Encyclopedia.com, Factmonster and Britannica round out the top 5 with Britannica having .57%.
Citizendium doesn't rate a mention nor does Knol although you can argue that it isn't an encyclopedia.
