The end of Wiki ?
The official Google blog has a new post about a new project that’s in closed, private beta.
The program is called Knols, or “units of knowledge.”
Knols participants will write reference pages on any topic, using a Google content creation tool apparently in the works, and those pages will be highlighted in Google search results.
Authors will choose whether they want ads to appear and will receive a “substantial revenue share.”
