P V's Experience With Google's Knol
PV joined the Knol platform in September 23rd 2008 after an introduction by a top Knol author. PV was inactive for quite sometime, however he has recently started contributing Knols and comments. The response was encouraging and so PV decided to carry on. PV found the Knol experience to be interesting and enlightening, particularly in interacting with people here. Although PV had some unpleasant experiences, these turned out to be a blessing in disguise because it helped PV to push on with more vigor and enthusiasm.
Within a short time span PV made it to the ‘Top Viewed Author Award’ list. Now he felt that he could make worthwhile, encouraging and thoughtful comments and also write reviews of other authors at knol. Now a days, whenever PV gets the opportunity, he introduces Knol and the wonderful activities going on here to his friends and colleagues. PV encourage his web contacts to join the Knol community and to post their knowledge in their respective areas.
Although knol is still in its infancy, thousands of contributors have already joined and it is a fast growing website. To secure genuine and trustworthy information about anything in this universe, PV believes that Knol is no doubt the best bet. There has been a good response to his call to join Knol and a few authors are already here, posting Knols at his invitation and doing a tremendous job. Some of them have even obtained top positions on Knol.
Engagements With International Writers:

From AC, PV secured a good number of contacts in the writing field and he still maintains those relationships today. Two of the AC authors interviewed him. His first interview was with Mr. Donald Pennington of USA. Donald is an active member and source/content producer/contributor at AC, and a top 1000 and Hot 500 badge holder.
