Why You Should Knol
Saturday, September 13, 2008, 14:08 | Written by Knol Today Editor
Google Knol offers an exciting and interesting opportunities for people from many backgrounds – enthusiasts, scholars, students, professors, entrepreneurs, artists, authors, and many more – to share what they know.
A knol by Johnson C. Philip offers some legitimate reasons why you should contribute knols.
According to Mr. Johnson, here are the five reasons why you should write knols:
- To help, motivate, and guide others
- To better use free time by making writing knols a very special hobby.
- To establish yourself as a writer, which will later be a mean to earn some extra income.
- To sharpen your way of thinking.
- To ‘leave your mark’ in this new media.
I would like to add number six: To promote and educate visitors about your websites and causes through knols you write, knowing that Google Knol will be bigger, more visited and more ’social’ than Wikipedia.
You can leave a response, or trackback from your own site.

Michael,
Thanks for dropping by! We will surely follow you wherever Google Knol will go!
Google Knol is definitely worth following and, to me, Knol is way, way much better than Wikipedia and Squidoo.
Cheers!
