Search engine giant, Google, has recently announced the launch of its publishing platform. To be known as Knol (as in a unit of 'knowledge'), this platform will function on the lines of Wikipedia and Maholo – two of the most popular knowledge banks online.
Web users can create topics and write content on anything and everything that interests them. They can also use various tools to interlink articles and content on the website.
However, unlike sites like Wikipedia, Knol will give absolute power to its authors. It will actually acknowledge the source of a write-up's origin by highlighting its author. Therefore, as a contributor, you can make a name for yourself in through Google.
Users will not have the rights to edit articles posted online. They can only submit their suggestions to the original author for approval. Google itself will not indulge in editing or advocating the posted content.
Eventually, authors will also be able to monetise their content by using Google's contextual advertising programmes. This will motivate more web users to put forward their contributions for Knol. The lure of getting a 'byline' with your write-up will involve a huge number of people in this project.
Although experts insist that giving absolute power in the hands of authors will ruin Google's chances of competing with similar platforms, the company thinks otherwise. In fact, the search engine company is of the view that it will help online users make better use of web content.

YouTube Users to Share Ad Generated Profits
It is profit-making time again for users of YouTube. The highly-popular video-sharing web community has launched its Partner Program which allows the site's most prolific users to get a share of the its advertising revenue.
Users have the option of picking the videos that they want to be displayed alongside adverts. Thus, they will have the chance of earning a part of the revenues generated by these corresponding ads.
YouTube has invited applications from its users living in Canada and the US. The scheme is all set to cater to the international market soon. After receiving applications, YouTube will pick its most dedicated community members who have been uploading original content and have managed to build a significant audience on the site.
Users who have consistently complied with the website's terms of use stand a good chance at being selected for the profit scheme. The Partner Program works on a non-exclusive agreement, allowing users to post their videos elsewhere even if they become a partner with YouTube.
Although the amount of profit payable has not been made public as yet, for users, something is definitely better than anything.
