Full Version: Wikipedia vs. Google Knol

Famous science blogger PZ Myers compares them.

And not surprisingly, Knol looks like crap, compared to WP, at least for the
few subjects he looked up.

Some Jimbo-suckers will probably go around "celebrating" this.

(For the record, I never said Wikipedia was useless, just that it has good
information--plus some incoherent drivel. All watched over by crazy people.
Crowdsourcing a knowledge database still looks like a bad idea.)

I hope I'm never described as a "famous science blogger".

I hope Moulton is never described in that fashion either.

Knol's still out there? I thought it had gone the way of Pan Am etc.
