Open Culture: Google Knol Prediction Revisited

  • Carl · 3 months ago
    The Knol might not be dead yet. PLoS has recently begun collaborating with Knol: http://knol.google.com/k/plos/plos-currents-inf.... I can see a time in the near future where people who publish in PLoS will be encouraged, if not required, to submit a Knol to Google as well. Will other scientific journals follow suit?

    Carl,

    That's actually an interesting item, one that I wasn't familiar with. Thanks for flagging it, and hopefully you're right. I'd like to see Knol find its niche.

    According to my estimate weekly page views of knol are now 1.5 million per week. By August 2010, they will reach one million per day and knol will reach a breakeven page view level. More and more authors are registering on knol. More authors are committing themselves actively to knol.
