Earlier this week, Google's project Knol - regarded as an attempt to compete with Wikipedia - went live.

There seems to be a complete lack of browsable content categories at this point in time. The main page of the site offers a random assortment of knols under the heading "Plain old bag o' knols". Google might be trying to hide the fact that there isn't much content available at this time since, despite there being a working search box at the top of the page, they say, "Who needs a search engine? CTRL+F" under the "Plain old bag" heading. I find this hilarious coming from the largest search engine company in the world.
Buried at the bottom of the page in a tiny font you'll find a "browse" link that will take you to an unsorted list of fifty knols. At the time of this writing there were seven pages worth of knols available. 350 articles is a far cry from Wikipedia's nearly 2.5 million but then again it is only the third day.
