G'day Wikipedia folks,
Farhad Manjoo of Slate has written a damning review of Knol.
http://www.slate.com/id/2200401/
"There are two articles about Sarah Palin on Google
Knol<http://knol.google.com/k/knol>ol>,
the search company's abysmal new Wikipedia-like reference guide. One
of them<
http://knol.google.com/k/marc-samuel-delvarello/sarah-palin/34hdx7ks0jha3/9…
is
a mess: Just a few hundred words long, the article is fraught with
factual and grammatical errors." More in article
It looks like someone's school essay on her... I mean, come on, there's
blatant typos there...

Interesting. That other "knol" that was lifted from an earlier revision of
our own article (without attribution as "Slate" correctly points out) still
has all of it's links and footnotes pointing back at Wikipedia! Not sure how
that's going to lift Knoll's pagerank.
