Google Knol was officially launched is out of its beta state. Knol - the word means a unit of knowledge. Google defines Knol as an authoritative article about a specific topic. All articles written in knol is verified by authorities in the topic before publishing. This makes Knol a trustable unit of Knowledge.
Knol is widely regarded as Google's attempt to beat Wikipedia. I am a huge fan of Wikipedia. But the fact that anyone can edit the contents of Wikipedia reduces its accuracy. It is said that there is a 1% factual error in every major article written in Wikipedia. This chance of error increases with less important topics. This is where Knol comes in use. Even though anyone can write a Knol, it is not published until it is verified by an authority in the topic.
There are a few hundreds of topics presently there at Knol. But being a Google product, it is very likely that it will keep increasing exponentially in future. None of the Google products had been a failure. Even though Google ads will be present in Knol, Google says that it will be minimum and content will be given sole importance.
