Walt Mossberg – For iPad and Mobile Devices, a “Port” out of the Norm
After six months of testing, Google is letting the public start using Knol, its effort to build an authoritative reference out of user contributions. When it was announced late last year, Knol sounded like a cross between the anyone-can-edit give and take of Wikipedia and the individual contributions of expertise found on Squidoo, and that’s the way it’s shaping up.
This is a section of the AllThingsD Web site featuring posts that have been curated from around the Web: pieces we’ve read, discussions we’ve followed, stuff we like. Five posts are included here each weekday, but only the headline and the first two sentences. We link to the original site for the rest. The section is explicitly labeled, so it’s clear that content comes “from other Web sites.”
We also solicit original full-length posts and accept some unsolicited submissions. Voices is edited by Beth Callaghan.
