Centurion Knollers

 
 
To my surprise, I now found that there are many centurion knollers on the knol platform. I located 60 so far, and the way I find knol authors who posted more than 100 knols, I will not be surprised, if their number is in hundreds. It is a very good thing for knol and I hope by end of the year, the number of centurion knollers goes up to 1000 and also page views of each of the authors goes up to a minimum of 100,000. Such a situation will give 100 million page views from these 1000 authors itself and give knol the backbone for success. I request all centurion knol authors to add their name to the list if the name is not there already.

 Google Knol Marketing

 
While Google Knol technical team is highly visible through knol help pages and involving authors in discussions, google knol marketing team is relatively silent.
 
Now the knol technical strength  is of acceptable level, but its marketing side is weak. There is a need for marketing people to come out into the open and involve knol authors in discussions, suggest them some marketing activities and listen to them and start some marketing activities.
 
There has to be an open discussion on marketing activities of knol platform.
 
Write your opinions here:
--------------------------------------
 
 
  • Knol should also send an email to all knol authors about various contests that knol is organizing  and ask them to forward the email to their friends. This option is easily available to knol and should be used for promoting such new features.
 
 
  • Yesterday I visited google website in the context going through the first quarter 2009 results. I read the profiles of senior executives of google. There various senior executives in product management area, and they claim association with various google products. But nobody is associated with knol. I think, there should be a senior executive who adds knol to his name and stakes his reputation on the success of the project. 
 
  • Efforts to attract bloggers to try writing knols for appropriate topics have to be made. There can be better linkage between blogs and knols. For all articles where collaborative writing is required bloggers must be encouraged to use the knol platform.


  • A counter to show number of knols written so far can be set up as a knol marketing exhibit.
 
  • I prefer knol marketing team to come out with a counter of registered authors. It will be exciting to watch the counter change periodically with the addition of each additional author. There can be a link to the last 100 authors or so below the counter. Such things create some action in some existing authors and provide material to knol metrics to analyse and comment upon and take the marketing activity forward.
 
  • Google knol has to focus on marketing now. (KVSS).

Warning
Google may starve some projects.
3rd December 2008
Google, the Internet search engine giant, is resorting to austerity measures, The Wall Street Journal reported.
Schmidt , CEO, said the company is “not going to give” an engineer 20 people to work with on certain experimental projects anymore.


 

Top executives say they remain committed to projects they believe hold long-term potential, but are prepared to “starve” lesser ones.
 
22 January 2009
 
These rumors still float around. Every company is into cutting its cost base.
 

What about knol? Do authors of knol believe in the long term potential of knol?

27.4.2009
Knol authors are increasing and knols are increasing. One of the German knollers, "Andreas Kemper recently mentioned that in one day 100 new german authors have registered and large number of hits were there on his knols. He is right because in that week he had more than 19,000 page visits for his knols. May be one of the all time records for weekly visits for a knol author's portfolio.

Dear Authors & Visitors to the KNOL

With a humble beginning and a great intention I have started this series of articles. The students of MBA-Marketing Management-Elective Papers in Indian Universities are my primary target audience.
The articles are written in such a way that the Teachers can also benefit from these as a refresher on the subject. The size and length of the articles are just enough for one-to-two lecture sessions in our Indian Standard. If a few students can really get benefit from these, then I will think my intentions are fulfilled. More on this later. Thanks & best wishes !

Board of Trustees for The Collaborative Books project

Dear Author,
I´d like to invite you to know about The Collaborative Books project.

http://knol.google.com/k/internet-medical-publishing/collaborative-books/1bbsle13m97c0/83#

This project counts with the support of Google and Knol developers.



We are creating a board of trustees for this project. Board members will judge and advise on the knols published and their advise will be a guarantee to continue a policy of unconditional open access and scientific quality for the books being offered. We think you would be an ideal member; therefore we´d like to invite you to join the board of trustees.



With best wishes,

Dr. Manuel Menendez

Mr.Sajid Ali Khan

You are welcome. This knol is open for the messages of all authors and visitors. I requested Knol help to open a bulletin board mechanism in Knol so that authors and visitors can write messages. I opened this only as a sample for that feature.
