How many of us know Google Knol???


Knol is a Google project that aims to include user-written articles on a range of topics.The project was led by Udi Manber of Google,announced December 13, 2007, and was opened in beta to the public on July 23, 2008[3] with a few hundred articles mostly in the health and medical field.[2][4] Knol has no policies regarding sources or neutrality. Some Knol pages are opinion papers of one or more authors, and others describe products for sale. Some articles are how-to articles or explain product use. Other people can post comments below an article, such as to refute opinions or reject ...( source : wikipedia)...

But Why it failed???

Here comes my views :

Well, honestly speaking I find knol a trash can, using it it’s like listening to many average people talking about things they know little or nothing about and have no proper vocabulary to express themselves. I’ve found no relevant or reliable info there. Knol is an blog portal for everybody, wikipedia is an encyclopedia. I see now practical resemblance between those two. The knol concept has nothing to do with knowledge and documentation it’s freedom of speech platform for all (smart or dump, educated or ignorant etc.).

Significance of 11/11/11

Based on past calendar dates such as 10/10/10, or October 10, 2010, no significant or unusual phenomenon occurs simply because of a date that has the same numbers in a sequence.




The numerical sequence of November 11 holds a special significance in the binary numeral system, which is the base-2 number system that represents numeric values using two symbols, 0 and 1. The date of November 11 has a binary number of 111110 where it has a decimal equivalent of 62 in the year 2010, and a binary number of 111111 with a decimal equivalent of 63 in the year 2011.

The number eleven has a special characteristic in mathematics where it is the sixth prime number. It contains some interesting peculiarities where the number eleven times itself equals a palindrome:
(2 digits) 11 x 11 = 121
(6 digits) 111111 x 111111 = 12345654321
(9 digits) 111111111 x 111111111 = 12345678987654321

PS : I just want to write a post on 11-11-11..I felt something is special about this number...So I just googled the information and post it here...That's it.....
