Knol: like Wikipedia, but not as useful

Knol was supposed to provide a more authoritative source than Wikipedia -- articles are written by subject matter experts -- but after almost two years, the site has so many gaps in content that it's practically worthless. Google should be indexing the Web's knowledge, not providing a half-hearted storehouse for some randomly selected portion of it.

In fact, this one's been on the deathwatch list for so long, it's amazing that it's still around. But it's still listed on Google's products page.

I've never heard of Google's Knol... so perhaps it is, in fact, a product that Google should dispatch with all due haste.

Not that I care. I bring it up because it's personally funny to me that Business Insider says that Larry Page should kill Knol.

I just hope Larry waits until after the Best of Jackson party. :-)
