Default Anyone using Google Knol for blog traffic?

I recently took a 2nd look at Knol, and am thinking about trying it out to drive traffic to my blog. Any members here have experience with Knol?

It is Googles attempt at creating a wikipedia. It was all over the web when it was released.

Its a pretty crappy product and is full of spam. Not sure how many people use it and how much traffic you will get.
But I do intend to write a couple of articles each on Squiddo, Hubpages, and Knol in the future. Knol maybe useful from PR perspective.

Just another over-hyped Google invention no one uses.

To be placed alongside their MMORPG, word editing and chat services. Awkward stuff that failed miserably.

I've given it a try and posted some articles, they really don't see much traffic though they are highly rated.

To be fair I use Google Docs as well as G!Chat and G!Talk (and a lot of my friends prefer it over stuff like y!m because it just works).

But, yeah Knol will probably count among the google initiatives that flopped.

Haven't used it either but it just doesn't seem to work. Otherwise everyone would be writing articles for it by now.

None of the really important have mentioned using it either.

Wow, it's been a while since I've heard Knol mentioned. I suppose it's worth a shot to see if it'll drive any traffic to your site, but I'm not sure it'll be worth the time.
