Google Knols Wikipedia

Google’s Knol is finally out of private beta.  I “LOVE” wikipedia… but I like “Knol” even better.  Wikipedia has claimed to “police” content, but we all know that it’s not always been very effective.  Google has chosen the “moderated collaboration” model, which I think is much more effective.  I agree that Wikipedia has been a source of “knowledge” and Google’s Knol could end up having a lot of noise, but it was really up to the reader to validate the information from other sources.
