[Search-l] Google Knol - A Wikipedia/Wikia/Mahalo killer?

[Jason McCabe Calacanis]

1,000 servers?!?!?!

I smell a crawl coming!!! Can't wait to see the crawl in action... Really hoping wikia gets a nice clean data set completed for us to use when we don't have a result!

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.
