Farhad has a fatal flaw in his argument (I assume it is a *he*). His flaw is believing that Knol is an encyclopedia and that it is "the next Wikipedia". Neither situation represents what Knol actually is. Knol is an online magazine -- multiple authors with bylines (credit), writing mostly individual articles *with some small input* and doing so to promote their business or themselves. That's not the reason d'etre of an encyclopedia. The next step for Knol is probably going to be the creation of sub-communities and cities built *on top of* the content. Some of us have already made baby-steps in that direction with indexes, but what we really need is categories and better userfication with projects and portals. Knol is only a few months old, but already it seems like a much more Randian approach to the underlying issue than Wikipedia. That is, each artist is allowed to fully express their art-form in their own way, and the best art rises to the top of the heap. That's the intent, it may not yet be the fact. It may never be. We'll see. Will Johnson **************Looking for simple solutions to your real-life financial challenges? Check out WalletPop for the latest news and information, tips and calculators.
