[Corpora-List] Knolicules

[Emiliano Guevara]

Hi,

There is a huge main difference:

Knol promotes authorship.

Differently from Wikipedia, where the author is just a big collective  
anonymous blob, in Knol you actually sign your articles and,  
therefore, you are held responsible for what you write and/or don't  
write.

IMHO, after a few years, Wikipedia has become quite messy and  not  
always reliable.
This was not really what people expected in the beginning, so maybe  
Knol is a good alternative now. We'll just have to wait and see.

E.
