My opinion is that both Knol and Wikipedia can co-exist. Besides, Wikipedians can collect the information from the Knol articles and use it to improve Wikipedia articles." the only problem i see with wikipedia at the moment is that there is a lot of unconfirmed information, which isn't always a bad thing, but sometimes people publish incorrect infomation, i think google's plans for this opertaion is to check all information before being published, which is great, especially for people like me at college, that do a lot of research. so yes, if this takes off, both Knol and Wikipedia will both co-exist just fine, and i wouldn't say this is so much of a competitive stand point for google but more of a co-opertive point. hope my feedback's helped in anyway. see ya around, merry christmas! :D - Caspian Graca Da Silva hey, i agree with what Eugene has already said

Google isn’t in the black because Wikipedia is useless! it’s a nice idea but anyone can edit it. So if your writing a newspaper or teaching you can’t use it unless you know the subject and can proof read it first which means you need to know the subject. So any decent school or newspaper can’t use it. It’s great if your interested in something and don’t need it to be 100% accurate but other than that useless. If they started getting experts to proof read then Wikipedia would be great but until they do that it’s not a lot of use. Who ever starts something with accurate information for free can not be the bad guy. Wikipedia could be great if they would just gets some experts to proof read things first!

Regardless if Knol is a success or not, I still think Google could replace Wikipedia with the dumbest defintions from the Urbandictionary. I always hated wikipedia.
