More Knols have migrated

If we see now, there are more knols with redirect links as more knols were migrated by their authors to other platforms. Wordpress is the first choice of most of the knol authors. There are some authors who moved to their own blogs or sites, some moved to Google Blogger.

My management articles are being moved to focused blogs on Blogger. I have good amount of content on Blogger. Hence these blogs can be connected with existing content more easily.

Knols are being migrated

Google made an alternative arrangement for posting the content on Knol platform. Knol authors can migrate their content to Wordpress platform using Annotum theme. Initial there were some problems in migration and some knol authors expressed anxiety. But now some active knol authors have migrated their knols to Wordpress and are encouraging others also to migrate.

Annotum theme has collaborative writing facility. We still do not know if public can write on articles voluntarily. Annotum is built more for reviews, approvals and edits and less for crowd contribution to articles. But they may be able to include crowd contribution facility in the platform. But so far there is no advertisement for it.

I am moving some of my management category knols to a Google Blogger blog Management Theory Review. The blog will be a focused place and readers can locate and read the articles more easily than in the Knol format where they are scattered in 4000 articles.
