According Google official blog source, the news comes out that Google is testing for Knol. Well, i don't even have an idea what's Knol really means.
But i know Wiki is one of the biggest online information source and now how Google's Knol will influence on Wiki.
The source report that "Where it differs from a wiki is its focus on the author. All knols will highlight who wrote them." and continue to say that "That small difference becomes dramatic when you put Knol alongside Wikipedia. Wikipedia is a collaborative system. There is no author listed on a wiki page because a page may have many authors (if you want to, you can divine who said what on the history pages).
Since Knol pages will be authored, users won't, presumably, be able to dive in and edit another page. They'll be able to submit edits to the author for approval, though. So much for open collaboration. But as a platform for authors who might want to make some money from their work, it's a better bet (Knol will allow authors to monetize their pages as they see fit)."
