Knol however is only collaborative on the meta-level. And even then only spottily. The articles are not typically collaborations, but rather independent creations of a single individual.

Knol is an intermediate platform between a blog and a wiki... it's not primarily a collaborative platform (so in terms of authorship, it's blog-like), but what's relevant here is it's wiki-like structure: the permalinked, timeless topic-based pages rather than the scrolling timeline of a blog.
