Google to dominate internet knowledge disseminations?

Google aims at combinging the better sides of Wikipedia, about, and Mahala, to name a few of online knowledge-dissemination services, writes PG on Personomies.com.

The new services, recently announced by Google, the knolt, will give the e-authors what they’ve been lacking so far: credit.

Google’s approach will be to have a world-wide team of experts who would submit writings on specific topics, would get peer-reviewed and edited by the whole online community, and rated, using crowd-wisdom, the author writes. All this – keeping the name, picture and references of the original author.

The Google giant seems to be aiming at wide, source-backed dissemination of knowledge, intending the knolt as the first search hit on its subject. Google promises to prioritize the competing knolts, as it claims competition would only benefit the subject, based on a rating system. The more good marks the merrier.

With credited authors, thousands of edits and peer reviews and mass rating, Google seems to be leading a yet another breakthrough in Internet knowledge dissemination.
