A blogger at the LA Times wonders when the "gold rush" will start for people to claim ownership of articles on Knol: http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/webscout/2008/07/knol-has-nothin.html In particular, he pointed out that Knol does not currently have an article about Wikipedia, so I decided to do my part and create one: http://knol.google.com/k/sheldon-rampton/-/8r9tdjdcsltq/2# I basically cut-and-pasted the existing Wikipedia article, although I did make one minor correction. The current version fails to credit me as Wikipedia's creator. It mentions some guy named Jimmy Wales instead. Anyway, I fixed it in my Knol version. ;-) ------------------------------------------- SHELDON RAMPTON Research director, Center for Media & Democracy Center for Media & Democracy 520 University Avenue, Suite 227 Madison, WI 53703 phone: 608-260-9713 Subscribe to our free Weekly Spin email: <http://www.prwatch.org/cmd/subscribe_sotd.html> Subscribe to our Weekly Radio Spin podcasts: <http://www.prwatch.org/audio/feed> Read and add to articles on people, issues and groups shaping the public agenda: <http://www.sourcewatch.org> Support independent, public interest reporting: <http://www.prwatch.org/donate>
