Google's Knol Launches

Posted on July 23, 2008 by briansmithmccallum

According to the official Google blog, Knol is open. This response to Wikipedia features authoritative content:

“Knols are authoritative articles about specific topics, written by people who know about those subjects. Today, we’re making Knol available to everyone.”

I wonder how this tool will play out in academia? Will academic librarians and professors endorse it?
