P V’s Experience With Google’s Knol
PV joined the Knol platform in September 23rd, 2008 after an introduction by a top Knol author. PV was inactive for quite some time, however, he has recently started contributing Knols and comments. The response was encouraging and so PV decided to carry on. PV found the Knol experience to be interesting and enlightening, particularly in interacting with people here. Although PV had some unpleasant experiences, these turned out to be a blessing in disguise because it helped PV to push on with more vigor and enthusiasm.
Within a short time span, PV made it to the ‘Top Viewed Author Award’ list. Now he felt that he could make worthwhile, encouraging and thoughtful comments and also write reviews of other authors at knol. Nowadays, whenever PV gets the opportunity, he introduces Knol and the wonderful activities going on here to his friends and colleagues. PV encourage his web contacts to join the Knol community and to post their knowledge in their respective areas.
Although knol is still in its infancy, thousands of contributors have already joined and it is a fast growing website. To secure genuine and trustworthy information about anything in this universe, PV believes that Knol is no doubt the best bet. There has been a good response to his call to join Knol and a few authors are already here, posting Knols at his invitation and doing a tremendous job. Some of them have even obtained top positions on Knol.
Rapports With International Writers:
Before joining Knol PV was an active member and source producer for the site calledAssociatedcontent.com (AC). He really enjoyed being with people there and had good rapport with some friends. From AC, PV secured a good number of contacts in the writing field and he still maintains those relationships today. Two of the AC authors interviewed him. His first interview was with Mr. Donald Pennington of USA. Donald is an active member and source/content producer/contributor at AC, and a top 1000 and Hot 500 badge holder.

Though, Google’s announcement of shutting their shop (knol platform) came as a shock to the knol writers their provision to migrate the knols to Word Press came as a solace to the knol users. All
Knol Team’s (Google) Announcement of Shutting Their Shop
As part of Google’s prioritization of product efforts, we will be retiring Knol. From now through April 30th, 2012, Knol will work as usual, but we’ve made it easy for you to download your knols to file and/or export them to WordPress.com. From May 1, 2012, through October 1, 2012, knols will no longer be viewable but can be downloaded and exported. After that time, knol content will no longer be accessible. We hope that this timeline provides you ample time to transition your content.
Thank you,
The Knol team
Though Google’s announcement of shutting their shop (knol platform) came as a shock to the knol writers, but their provision to migrate the knols to Word Press came as a solace to many knol users. All of PV’s knols are migrated to Word Press in the process. You can read them here at this link. peeveesknols.wordpress.com.
P V is now mainly concentrating on his blog pages (Philipscom) and its related social networks.
