Knol Knol Knol My Boat

Google Launched Knol Yesterday... or what people are calling a "wikipedia killer". Lots of people are trashing it but I gotta say I am pretty impressed. It has every component for success. Here are some of my favorite things from the few hours I have been using it.

The WYSIWYG interface smokes Wikipedia's. It accepts regular HTML too if you want to use that mode.

I love the ability of inviting others to help you with your articles.

Phone Verification - Google will verify your identity using your phone. This will add to the legitimacy of the articles.

Revenue Sharing - You can punch in your Google AdSense code and boom your making money if people read your article.

Licensing - You can pick from a variety of licensing rights on how your content can be used.

So I have a SEO CHALLENGE. Who's SEO article on knol will rank the highest in Google? Will be interesting to see.
