Google Announces Google Knol

The web contains an enormous amount of information, and Google has helped to make that information more easily accessible by providing pretty good search facilities. But not everything is written nor is everything well organized to make it easily discoverable. There are millions of people who possess useful knowledge that they would love to share, and there are billions of people who can benefit from it. We believe that many do not share that knowledge today simply because it is not easy enough to do that. The challenge posed to us by Larry, Sergey and Eric was to find a way to help people share their knowledge. This is our main goal.

Earlier this week, we started inviting a selected group of people to try a new, free tool that we are calling "knol", which stands for a unit of knowledge. Our goal is to encourage people who know a particular subject to write an authoritative article about it. The tool is still in development and this is just the first phase of testing. For now, using it is by invitation only. But we wanted to share with everyone the basic premises and goals behind this project.

The key idea behind the knol project is to highlight authors. Books have authors' names right on the cover, news articles have bylines, scientific articles always have authors -- but somehow the web evolved without a strong standard to keep authors names highlighted. We believe that knowing who wrote what will significantly help users make better use of web content. At the heart, a knol is just a web page; we use the word "knol" as the name of the project and as an instance of an article interchangeably. It is well-organized, nicely presented, and has a distinct look and feel, but it is still just a web page. Google will provide easy-to-use tools for writing, editing, and so on, and it will provide free hosting of the content. Writers only need to write; we'll do the rest.

New Website Reports Rumors

A new website called Truemors allows people to submit rumors over the Internet or with an SMS message. TechCrunch reported earlier that popular rumors can make it to the homepage of the Truemors website in a Digg-like fashion.

The company has partnered with Spinvox to allow people to leave rumors by voice. Spinvox then converts them to text for posting on the site.

You can call 1-650-329-2020 and leave your own rumor, if you wish. Text messages should be sent in the following format: Text "2020" to 55022. Rumors can also be posted to post@truemors.com.

Once rumors are on the site, other users can leave comments and vote it up or down. Like Digg, all new postings are listed for people to review and vote on. If enough people think a rumor is interesting, it makes it to a top list (the equivalent of the Digg home page).

Truemors also has categories for the rumors posted to its website including politics, business and even crap. Truemors was launched by blogger Guy Kawasaki.

Yahoo Launches Food Portal

Yahoo has launched a new food portal called Yahoo Food. The new site offers searchable recipes, celebrity favorites and tips, profiles of cooks and local dining guides. Reuters reports that Yahoo has partnered with some major food media companies to provide content for the site.

Media partners include Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia Inc., Wolfgang Puck, Everyday with Rachael Ray, Food & Wine, Epicurious, allrecipes.com, Cook's Illustrated, Eating Well, Taste of Home, and Reader's Digest.

Yahoo offers a searchable recipe database, personalised features that remind Yahoo users of their prior searches for recipes or articles on the site, and a potentially vast social network of people united by common interests around food.

It's Yahoo, so search underpins the workings of the site. The technology indexes thousands of recipes via a partnership with allrecipes.com. Users can search by ingredient, cuisine, foods for special occasions, or by taste or mealtimes.

Food joins technology as the first of two in a line of new lifestyle businesses that Yahoo is developing to both drive greater usage of its network of sites among existing customers and woo attractive new online demographics -- the hungry, in this case -- that its blue-chip advertiser base covets.

Time Names 50 Coolest Websites

Time.com has selected what they claim are the 50 Coolest Websites. You can see the list here. It includes popular websites like YouTube, Digg and MySpace. There are also lesser known sites like SingShot, Podcast Pickle and HopStop. Time had an entire category devoted to search and services. In the search category these sites included Snap (general search), Accoona (general search), Pixsy (picture/video search), Argali (phone numbers) and Kosmix (health).

The Guardian's Technology Blog slammed Time for selecting website that had little value. However, they did credit them for selecting one good site: Pandora, an online music tool. With an entire section devoted to "time wasters" Time makes it easy to pan their selections.

Website Gathering Personal Histories From Last 50 Years

A website called The People History has launched. The goal is to create a social history of the past fifty years using personal stories.

The People History is a site dedicated to preserving our memories for future generations Many of the things we accept as part of our way of life did not exist just 30 years ago, and many of the events that occurred before the coming of the Internet are well documented historically but do not have many memories from the people who lived through those events and changes . As each generation passes more memories will be lost and we hope with this site to create a social history from the last 50 years created by the people who lived through those events and changes

Visitors do not need to register or have to include an email address to leave a memory. People History says that all memories are vetted prior to inclusion and it can take up to 48hrs for your memory to be included.

Screenwriting Veteran Launches Movie Review Website

Hollywood screenwriting veteran Alan Trustman, writer of award-winning films The Thomas Crown Affair, Bullitt, They Call Me Mr. Tibbs and more, has launched MoviesWorthWatching.com. The site offers up current reviews on notable films as well as features on what script elements make a screenplay commercially successful. Unlike other film sites, MoviesWorthWatching.com focuses on providing reliable recommendations, as opposed to assigning a "thumbs up, thumbs down" or star-based rating system. Trustman says you won't find any mean and nasty reviews on his movie website.

On the website Trustman says, "If you are looking for murderous, scathing, sarcastic, negative reviews, you will not find them here. If I do not think a movie is worth seeing, I don't review it. Most movies that fail have cost a lot of money and absorbed the time, energy, hopes and dreams of numerous talented people, many of whose careers will have been shattered by the movie's failure. I wish them better success next time out and I sympathize with their disappointment and misery."
