Google has officially launched Knol, and a search on "Knol and Wikipedia"
turns up a slew of stories about the fully formed instant rivalry the
launch spawns between both sides of that "and."

<snip>

Curious to see what Knol had to say about Wikipedia, I visited
google.knol.com, searched on Wikipedia, and came up with nothing.

Ditto for searches on two genius inventors I'm fond of, "Edison" and "Alan
Kay." I did have some success with a search for "XBox," which had no entry
itself, but was referred to in an entry for video game Devil May Cry,
authored by a fascinatingly bearded contributor who goes by the name of
Chewy.
