Knol is not a Wikipedia wannabe

Google's Knol gives people, aspiring writers, so-so writers, people who just have some level of considered expertise a place to plop their stuff. Wikipedia is for serious research or for necessary research...like who the hell is ???.
But Knol, seems to give a much broader swath of folks the opportunity to share what they know. It's easy, it let's you "enhance" old style writing with small bells and whistles, or small audios and videos, and it's useful for being so easy and available— to everyone.
Yeaaaa, Google!
I repeat, Knol is NOT Wikipedia!
