Google Knol - Also called as the Wikipedia killer or Blog Killer has been officially launched and now anyone can join and start writing content and make easy money. Here are some features of Google Knol :

Unlike Wikipedia where you cannot promote your own business/services in case of Knol you can write about anything or everything you wish to do like Blogging.

There is no moderation of content you write like in case of wikipedia where everything is moderated.

Google Knol allows you to create a Bio page of yours which you can use as a portfolio.

Google Knol allows you to upload a personal photo of yours in your profile/bio page and which is shown generally on all the article pages/ homepage of Knol.

Knol visitors can rate your articles or leave comments the same way blog visitors do on the blogs and interact with the writers, but in case of wikipedia its almost like a static page system.

In case of Wikipedia you can edit any page/part of a page and moderators verify the changes, but in case of Google Knol only a selected number of experts/reviewers can make any changes whom you allow access to make the changes.

Making any changes in Wikipedia is very hard because the wikimedia script is very much complicated but in case of Google Knol you are offered with a very easy to use interface, where you just give a single click on any section like title, body similar to any blogging CMS and click on Publish to complete the task.

Wikipedia does not allow you to link to any of your websites, but in case of knol you can link to any website URL within the articles and make the most in terms of traffic, backlinks and SEO.

Get started with Google Knol as soon as possible and start publishing your content.
