I re-head recently about Google Knol, which is IMO some crossing-over between a wiki and a blog. Are there some people that use it here to write haskell-related articles instead of a regular blog?
As far as anybody outside Google knows, Knol has pretty much been abandoned. See http://googlesystem.blogspot.com/2011/01/abandoned-knol.html . I don't think it's worth contributing knowledge to it.
I agree; I predicted back in January 2009 that it would fail to go anywhere, and checking up on it, I find that none of the stats have improved since then: http://www.gwern.net/Wikipedia%20and%20Knol#knol-did-fail Indeed, the real question for me is when it will officially die: http://www.gwern.net/Wikipedia%20and%20Knol#knol-death-watch Knol has zero advantages over the Haskell wiki, and never has, unless you want fanatical control of your content and miniscule ad content, in which case you are better off with your own blog. -- gwern http://www.gwern.net
