: l r c - o r b i t ... the usd research satelliteGoogle launches Wikipedia competitor
By John Adkins
Google's Knol is now up and running! A knol is "a unit of knowledge" according to the page (i have to look that one up). Like Wiki, people can add their own knowledge pages. But these are signed by the authors, making them a bit more responsible for their knols.
