KNOL - disease collection … for now!

Google’s Wikipedia competitor, Knol, was opened to the public on Wednesday morning.

Cedric Dupont, Google Knol product manager, said in an interview with ZDNet.co.uk

“In the long term, we hope that encyclopedias, such as Wikipedia, would use knols as references… If Knol is successful, it will help Wikipedia.

If you browse KNOL (here /24.Jul.2008) , this is the result:

  • Tooth Pain
  • Head Lice
  • POISON IVY and POISON OAK
  • Peripheral Arterial Disease
  • Molluscum Contagiosum
  • Rosacea
  • Urticaria
  • COLON CANCER
  • … and many more …

The service initially features a lot of medical articles. This medical wiki is backed by Harvard’s and Stanford’s medical schools.
