    i wonder if there are copyright issues over the knowledge base, so that like hulu, pandora, and many others, us outliers just cannot be trusted, or whatever it is...

    It's even funnier that they posted the same announcement (pretty much) on the Google Australia blog: http://google-au.blogspot.com/2008/07/knol-is-o...

    You can't really say Google is that friendly to international people. Different to other companies, they offer everything in every country - but that's something I expect them to do. (Microsoft's new Live News website wasn't available in Austria, I only got the old site, and there was no way I could change that.)
    Google was never fast in offering new languages for services except of search.

    I wouldn't use Knol as an example for a product launch at Google, though. They completely fucked that one up. Posts didn't save, pages took several minutes to load, etc. Huge fail!
