Mahalo = Wikipedia = Knol?

Jason Calacanis’ Mahalo is getting a two-part makeover.

Jason Calacanis Tries Turning Mahalo Into a Wikipedia That Pays | Peter Kafka | MediaMemo | AllThingsD.

Yeah, no one is mentioning knol.google.com anymore…Why not? Has Jcal noticed the same thing and decided to take advantage of the situation? I guess the eventuality of it all is after having such a comprehensive collection of info, what next? That’s right, present it in a wikipedia format.

Ok, so he’s going to pay us to take ownership of a particular subject. That might get a little hairy because what if there’s three people who are experts on one subject? Have three pages? Probably not. More than likely Mahalo will consolidate any similar in subject pages. It will be like subletting (that’s New York for squeezing 3 people in a 1 person space at cost) only all three will share in the page’s revenue instead, maybe.

What do you think?
