This event took place September 12, 2008, as part of the Authors@google series. com/ Anathem, the latest invention by the New York Times bestselling author of Cryptonomicon and The Baroque Cycle, is a magnificent creation: a work of great scope, intelligence, and imagination that ushers readers into a recognizable--yet strangely inverted--world. Fraa Erasmas is a young avout living in the Concent of Saunt Edhar, a sanctuary for mathematicians, scientists, and philosophers, protected from the corrupting influences of the outside "saecular" world by ancient stone, honored traditions, and complex rituals. Over the centuries, cities and governments have risen and fallen beyond the concent's walls. Three times during history's darkest epochs violence born of superstition and ignorance has invaded and devastated the cloistered mathic community. Yet the avout have always managed to adapt in the wake of catastrophe, becoming out of necessity even more austere and less dependent on technology and material things. And Erasmas has no fear of the outside--the Extramuros--for the last of the terrible times was long, long ago. |

Well, that model doesn't work so well if nobody bothers to read the articles on Knol no matter how much search karma Google gives them. Quantcast estimates that only 174,000 people visited the site in the past month. So what do you do if your Knol page isn't throwing up enough AdSense pennies to make it worth your while? You try to sell a pair of stereo speakers directly to the few lost souls who somehow end up at Knol. August 11th, 2009 at 8:34 pm PDT Google is always put out there as this incredibly innovative company. They're a graveyard of failed attempts to copycat other ideas. August 11th, 2009 at 8:55 pm PDT I wouldn't call that "innovative", just a good, solid service. Anything they own that could really be called innovative (outside search) has been bought up from the outside, like youtube or blogger. August 11th, 2009 at 10:22 pm PDT Technically, Google didn't come up with the idea for Google Voice. The bought a service called GrandCentral back in 2007 and just recently got around to relaunching it as Google Voice. August 11th, 2009 at 9:31 pm PDT "Google should just end its misery, just like it did when it killed other under-performing projects such as Lively and Google Notebooks. People who arrive at the knol pages probably click the ads enough to make this true, despite its dwindling traffic. August 11th, 2009 at 9:34 pm PDT I always felt Google didn't promote Knol enough. Even when they had certain well written articles comparable with, if not better than wikipedia, wikipedia still got better search rankings. Other encyclopedias don't have a fair chance against Jimbo Wales' drama generator.

The Enchantress of Florence is the story of a woman attempting to command her own destiny in a man's world. It is the story of two cities, unknown to each other, at the height of their powers--the hedonistic Mughal capital, in which the brilliant Akbar the Great wrestles daily with questions of belief, desire, and the treachery of his sons, and the equally sensual city of Florence during the High Renaissance, where Niccol Machiavelli takes a starring role as he learns, the hard way, about the true brutality of power. Salman Rushdie is the author of nine previous novels, including Midnight's Children (which was awarded the Booker Prize in 1981 and, in 1993, was judged to be the "Booker of Bookers," the best novel to have won that prize in its first twenty-five years) and The Satanic Verses (winner of the Whitbread Prize for Best Novel). He is also the author of a book of stories, East, West, and three works of nonfiction---Imaginary Homelands, The Jaguar Smile, and The Wizard of Oz. He is co-editor of Mirrorwork, an anthology of contemporary Indian writing. This event took place on June 18, 2008, as a part of the Authors@Google series. |
