For those who don't know, google is launching an alternative to wikipedia with ad revenue-sharing for the editors. Interesting! http://www.bestsyndication.com/?q=121407_google_knols_what_is_it.htm The current codeword for it is "Project KNOL" obviously, this IS NOT the real name they will be using for 2 reasons. KNOL.com, .net & .org are already established websites. So KNOL is bogus, no doubt about it. For the domain & traffic speculators out there. The secret is to find the name similar to what they are going to call it. It needs to be something as catchy as "wikipedia" but maybe something googley, or universal or something. Here are a few ideas we thought of, lets see what other people can come up with. googlepedia.com googpedia.com googlewiki.com googleverse.com unigoogle.com uniwiki.com factpedia.com These names we have not checked, they may already be owned. Just a thought though! Anybody else got suitable ideas for a "Google Wikipedia" domain name? If we hit the right one, a mispelling of it could be cash in the bank!
We thought googlepedia was the best, trouble is, its so LONG! Would have thought something shorter would be in order. Wait, just thought of a new one for the list. unipedia.com
pretty lame for google, dont u think ? (I am really not sure that they are doing this anyway). I thought they have learn something from google videos mistake ? and its pretty obvious that they need more content to feed into adsense program.
And dont forget GoogleKnol.com Administrative Contact: DNS Admin (NIC-14290820) Google Inc. 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway Mountain View CA 94043 US
Try not to register anything with the word google in it, they do not need to buy from you, their lawyers can get it back for them
ROFL. Yeah ok. But hey what about Goknolo.com . I did think of googlepedia.com but would have to be changed I think to something simplified and easier to remember how to spell. Cause just for wiki all I do in a SE bar is type in wiki and the site comes up.
The chances of this project coming up is really rare. Google is just working on it , but with Google's own words, It might not even release. In reality, it makes no sense to compete with a website which does not make money(Wikipedia). Google can never compete with Wiki, no matter what.
azharcs, LOLMAO....smash some adsense on it...provide a way for advertisers to appear on the wiki pages: PROFIT In a nuthsell G profits from ANY site..so why should G not profit from a Google Wiki? Every clicked ad == profit for google!
Is Google doing this because Wiki is starting a search engine? with open algorithim??? I think it will be good to have public algorithim with a search engine, then we can really see how these things work.
