100,000 articles on knol - but do you know anyone who uses it?
Bit of a surprise this morning when I read from the Google blog that knol has reached the 100,000 'knols' milestone. It's only been six months since launch and I had forgotten all about it. I am not sure what surprised me most - that it had reached the milestone or that it is still around as it seems to have a low profile. At the time it came out I remember wondering how successful knol might be. Given the numbers that Google works with 100,000 seems like a small number but as this post from mashable points out, it seems to be tracking pretty well in growth (of published articles at least). The mischievous side of me can't help wondering what temptation there is over there to lift 'knols' presence in Google rankings - can't say I remember seeing any in Google searches to date.
