I was surprised to see a nice editorial by CNET on the Knol project here: http://news.cnet.com/8301-17939_109-10150032-2.html What surprised me was the authors nice comment about my Knol on "bass fishing" towards the end of the article. He's got good taste
Cnet is still talking about Google Knol? I wonder how Google bribed them to do that - that thing died pretty quickly, at least, I haven't heard anything about it in ages. But congrats on the article mention
I know a couple of people who have had some minor success with Knol, but not as much as you'd think. I think people automatically expected Knols to rank high because the site was owned by Google, and that just isn't the case. I almost never see Knols ranking on the first page.
