Last December, I wrote about the announcement of Google Knol, a similar service to Wikipedia but with moderation of articles and the ubiquitous Google Ads.
The site has officially launched and with a few hundred articles to Wikipedia's 2.5 million, Jimmy Wales has nothing to fear…yet.
In other Google news, they're in serious talks to buy Digg as well.
No word yet on a buyout offer for every living soul on Earth but I'm sure that's coming soon too.
