Google unveils online reference tool - eSchool News
For better or worse, Wikipedia--the online reference site that lets anyone add to its ever-growing body of knowledge--has changed the nature of internet research. Now Google is taking the wraps off a free internet encyclopedia of its own, designed to give people a chance to show off--and profit from--their expertise on any topic. The service, dubbed "knol" in reference to a unit of knowledge, had been limited to an invitation-only audience of contributors and readers for the past seven months.

Google, Google, Google, does Google ever budge without thinking about money. I don't see ads plastered all over wikipedia, but they will probably be on Google's knol
