I actually think that people would go to a Googlepedia pretty quickly.
There's always that prestige associated with saying to someone "I work with
Google." With the strength of its name alone, Google could attract a
sizeable population in a matter of months. How it would work out, I'm not
sure. Isn't Google a supporter of Wikipedia though, in terms of server space
and PageRank?
