Think you are an expert on a subject? Well, Google's got a proposition for you.
Google's Wikipedia competitor, Knol, was opened to the public on Wednesday morning, according to the Official Google Blog.
So-called knols are articles about specific topics written by experts on that subject.
Google is partnering with The New Yorker magazine to allow any author to add a cartoon from the magazine to their knol. Knol authors can run ads with them, as well, and receive a cut of the revenue from Google.
What makes Knol different from Wikipedia is that every knol will have an author, or group of authors, whose name is prominent.
