In fact, by adding more experts to the Web, Knol, if it takes off, will probably improve Wikipedia, not kill it off.

Nupedia was the predecessor to Wikipedia, and it utterly failed. But yes, Wikipedia does have a major advantage in having started so much earlier than Knol. wikipedia ftw Erm, not quite true.

Google base anyone? Google Talk? Google Chrome... (I hope not I actually like it). Google Knol though is just a massive fail, and to be honest I can not believe they even made it. I guess they were still dirty on the fact they didn't come up with wikipedia first. 90% of the stuff combined with the Google brand name never gets anywhere. Google base anyone? Google Talk?

Controlling both the search and the content that gets monetized via their search puts them in an interesting position. But, like you said - 4 months isn't very long, even for Google. I probably wouldn't count them out yet.
