We have never claimed to be a google killer... far from it.  The press 
just loves that angle.  Even this Knol thing... I was on the phone all 
day with the press who wanted to know if it is a Wikipedia killer.

Everybody loves the "Jimmy Wales versus Google" story.  Wheee!

But of course it is mostly nonsense.
