Google launched Knol which could possibly be competitor to Wikipedia. Knol is known as online publishing website where registered users can publish information about anything they like. I wonder why they didn’t registered googpedia or googlepedia because knol to me looks like some random 4 letter domain name because 3 letter domains are already taken and cost a lot of money. I just hope that google will not have any problems with company called Knology, Inc which stock market name is “nasdaq:knol”.
