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.
