Natalya I'm sure your press releases did do well, because they already had a distribution network set up specifically to spread that press release all over the internet. You are comparing apples to oranges I think. New sites always take time to become valuable....wikipedia wasn't a huge success right out of the gate. So knol came in with a bang…..

That's the perfect time to log off and make yourself a cup of tea. “By the time you’ve finished searching, you might be an expert about that micro-niche.

I feel some google software experts can come together and involve their professors, batch mates and alumni and create good quality articles on computer science useful in BS and MS level courses. Google staff have the expertise and contacts, and network and knol is awaiting such contribution from them Mr. Matts

Thats no different than letting a bunch of school kids claim to be experts in physics... you are gonna get some damn strange data! (More scary, you'll probably get some good data too! ;)) 2) (for those of you that didn't see this coming!) It is JavaScript only. Sure - you can read it ... you can read what others have put. But if you do not have a JavaScript enabled device - thats all you can do. You cannot comment. You cannot rate things. You cannot review. You cannot edit. You cannot create. So there is a certain section of the public that cannot "use" the Knol. We are not only talking about those using strange browser setups and odd security settings .... this can also include those using certain Assistive/Alternative technologies due to disabilities. Nice to see Google "doing no evil" . As I’m here… 2 bleats about ” Knol ”
