Official Google Blog: Encouraging people to contribute knowledge

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.

InnovationTools - Read reviews of the best creativity software and brainstorming software

Quoted: All about the InnovationTools Web site - Tools to help you succeed and innovate in business!
When I looked at FreeMind, the open-source mind mapping software program written in Java, several years ago, it was still a bit rough around the edges. But what a difference a few years can make! The current version of FreeMind (v0.8.0, available for Windows, Mac OS X and Linux operating systems) is a polished, feature-rich application that can hold its own against just about any commercial competitor in the mind mapping software arena.

In this "first look" review, I will highlight some of the most significant features and benefits of FreeMind, with an eye toward how it can be used in business applications
