Ginkgo, thanks for your comment on CuteWriting. I very much appreciate it. Let me clarify my side. I said "wikipedia-ish" means 'like wikipedia' And the sentence would be "Knol is a content system like wikipedia, in which (Knol) people can contribute on anything and get paid. But you notice that obvious grammatical error, and being grammar-finicky, I can't let that in. So, I put 'Wikipedia-ish' only in that Knol is a content system.

You are most likely true in that Wikipedia may not be affected by Knol at all. I have also made that speculation citing other content systems like blog networks, About.com, etc. But we should not forget that Knol is a Google product, that means it's the son of the Web God. So, we have to wait and watch what really happens. In fact, it is even speculated that Wikipedia will get a huge hit, since most of its traffic comes from Google, and Google can bypass it well...

Thanks a lot. You have a great blog here. All the best blogging!
