There are two big news about Google available on the web:
Google Knol - Wikipedia’s rival
Google launched today the publishing platform named Knol, a platform that is very similar to Wikipedia. Its name comes from “knowledge”.
Knol uses the same publishing instruments like a blog page and the authors can create topics. People will be able to add comments, questions, and even edit content. The article may include an advertisement too if the author wants to. Beside Wikipedia where are only anonymous authors, Knol will present the signature of the them too.
All in all, why not? I am completely sure that this might become a success as other Google projects but I am not that sure it will take Wikipedia’s place.
Google to buy Digg for $200m?
As I came across on TechCrunch, I saw that there are some negotiations between Google and Digg. We are talking about $200m. Kevin Rose, what’s your opinion?
Yeah, Microsoft would like to buy Digg too but they have a smaller bid. Personally, I think that it’s ok Google to buy Digg. I don’t know what different company would be better to do this.

because of google’s sort of monopoly in search they do succeed in allmost all the projects they do. though Wikipedia is very famous and strong Im sure the writers will flock into Knol as it gives a opportunity to put a small advertisement as well. So do the readers will follow
