Take "Barack Obama," for instance. A search for his name brings up 809 entries; since most Knol users appear to write their own entries rather than add to others (for which no compensation is forthcoming), the proliferation of entries is inevitable. And it's not at all clear that the best ones are rising to the top.
遇到分歧时,多数Knol的用户倾向写自己的文章而不是将自己的意见补充到他人的文章内,内容扩散是难以避免的。有意思的是,学术论文也具有这个特点。Wikipedia倡导的“匿名编辑”与Knol倡导的“署名创作”,这场争斗会继续下去,而且也会蔓延到学术写作上。不过有点不变,读者总是希望能够阅读到“稳定”、“可信”的内容。
