1. Comment - Perspective: I don't Knol

   (Dec 15, 2007 - 7:35 PM)

   Unfortunately, it's usually Google who "fails to give proper credit" to authors. If someone with more Google juice copies the content of an original author, it's not infrequent that the copied content will show up higher in search results.
   
   And while many sources are cited in Wikipedia, snippets and sentences are frequently lifted from their sources without annotation.
   
   If authors are uniquely identified, at least knols will help in ensuring accountability, but this seems like a riff off Google Answers, which also gave authors revenue potential for sharing knowledge. Lot of hoopla, few results.
