Official Google Blog: Encouraging people to contribute knowledge
Official Google Blog: Encouraging people to contribute knowledge
Google's recent experiment makes me wonder who at Google started inviting "a selected group of people" and who and how many those selected were, and how many accepted the invitation to create "Knols".
I doubt this is really a ploy to take on Wikipedia, which I stopped contributing to the minute they started butchering my work.
I do not endorse the so called "encyclopediac knowledge" purported to be representative of human knowledge by Wikipedians, however this new invention by Google doesn't impress me as anything more than a small core group of people trying to manipulate knowledge for the purpose of creating sales for their ads as they are searching for new ways to conquer our advertizing saturated infinite cyberspace. Another tentacle of the Octodragon's Rosebud has appeared and is now flowering.
The other day I made the mistake of clicking on a Google ad, which turned out to be a link to some scam that was going to pay me lotsa bucks as a writer and next thing I know I am being spammed by thousands of emailers, and getting phone calls from every sales person in the country offering to sell me everything from mortgages and cars to christmas cards!
Google's stock is due for another massive rapid correction! I'd short a billion shares if I had the leverage power like George Soros, Bill Gates or Warren Buffet. Hint, Hint, Hint!
Trust me when I quote "The Penny King" who says, "In God, We No Longer Trust, U.S. Dollars are Worthless and Pennies are Worth a Dollar!"
