Knol vs blogger and adsense earnings

Knol and blogger both owned by Google and both comes with adsense and has good earning potential.

Knol is somewhat similar to wiki, where one shares the knowledge to the world that can be edited by the experts or other users. so simply one can say that Knol is a unit of knowledge which is user generated site. That means the articles submitted by users are not edited, fact-checked, or screened before they post. 

On the other hand, blogger is also information sharing but has some restrictions on commenting editing the published information.

The most important is the earning, there are many who makes lot of dollars through adsense by blogging. Well, if you have some knowledge and want to share, then knol is good option which can also be integrated with your adsense account.

I am blogger since 2006 and I started my knol today.., what do you think about knol? Please leave your comment.

Watch and share YouTube and Google videos from Google chat while chatting

After integrating the introducing voice and video chat directly from Gmail, with desired audio and video settings, Google also includes more fun options while chatting.

Now you can also watch and share the YouTube videos or Google videos with your friends while chatting. That’s interesting.

While chatting, if you want to share a romantic song to your girl/boy friend, just copy the link of the song from Google video or YouTube and past it. You are done. However you need to play the video. You can see the screenshot of the video "Ab Toh Hai Tumse (Amitabh Bachchan & Jaya Bhaduri)" shared with my friend.
