I find it amazing that Google still resists seeing itself as a commercial entity. Are people interested in contributing their knowledge really going to choose Knol over Wikipedia? Doubt it. Reminds me a little of Microsoft. (I think that's the first time I've been to Slate.com in five years.)

When I first heard about the Wikipedia idea I thought it was not going to work and I was wrong. The same happened to me when Google announced Knol, perhaps this time I am right. It could work but not as it is right now.

Here in Chile Facebook es growing VERY fast. In fact, it was the fastest growing country in the world for the past 6 months. There are now more people in Chile that in big countries like France (http://clipmarks.com/clipmar...)

Another one of my articles has been Grayed! Hehe. But with this article, i just thought it was amazing how the focus has gone from sites/blogs to the actual people. :)

It's a really good one, James! I think I've been more interested in the author of the material from the get-go since my focus is...uh...unfocused. Personal blogging. Finding cool sh*t on the internet. Brilliant, incisive essays that make me see the world differently. I've seen other people with my same kind of un-focus list their blogrolls by author name, rather than blog name--very telling!
