Perhaps, Google was tired of sending out Wikipedia search links with almost every inquiry so the search company created its own wiki-style online encyclopedia called Knol--a unit of knowlege. ZDNet's Garett Rogers says Knol could eventually "suck the life" out of Wikipedia.

Knol also allows readers to rate the articles, post a comment, and write a competing article on the same subject.
