In case any of you guys haven't been following this, Google has been working on an alternative to Wikipedia. Unlike Wikipedia Knol allows contributors to write articles and following either be the exclusive author or moderate the article contributions from others. In order to provide for all viewpoints there can exist several articles with different opinions on the same subject. The big selling point in comparison to Wikipedia is that readers now have a source/author to pin the article on and thus decide for themselves who to trust. the downside is that you probably have to read through a few more articles before getting the same picture that Wikipedia in most cases would provide anyway.
I think it's terribly exciting. What do you guys think, does it have a chance at dethroning Wikipedia? Any articles you plan to write?
