Knowledge on Demand: Google Knol


Google has a wide variety of services and I would bet that most people have never heard of them. Google Knol has been around for a while but it was news to me. It strikes me as a combination of Wikipedia and a blog. Users post entries and others may leave comments. Entries are grouped into categories.




How is that different from a blog?

  • The entries stand on their own. To be effective a blog should have regular updates. In Google Knol each entry is independent and likely not updated once written.

  • If you guessed that Google Knol has advanced searching features you'd be write. The top level searching system is very similar to a Google search bar but the search toolkit is what sets Google Knol apart.

The search toolkit includes many options similar to the advanced search features from regular Google. The main difference I've noticed is there are a variety of date options for searching in Google Knol. The date options are useful in this context because every entry has a precise date. Thus, you could search for information on events years after the event has occurred.
