Goodbye 2007, Hello 2008

Like a lot of other bloggers there is no way I can possibly list everyone who has impacted me on the Internet in the last year. So, I would just like to thank everyone who reads this!
2007 was  a stellar year for me on the Internet and at times it was a little wild. If 2008 is even close to being  as successful as 2007 I will be thrilled.
I hope and pray that your 2008 will be a smashing success for you in every way possible!

When my teenagers say they [...]

Google Knol

On December 13th Google made a blog post about a new project that is being developed.
Google Knol appears to be a direct competition to Wikipedia. There are some differences mentioned in the post by Udi Manber, VP Engineering.
The main focus of the article is that authors of the articles will be clearly credited and visible. The basic idea would indicate that this would be a way to keep the integrity of the articles by having people put their reputations on the line. Authors will also be able to have ads in their articles and anyone will be able to rate [...]
