The article has good points. Even though I do not agree with the idea that Knol has not proved its utility. Knol proved its utility to readers and progressing every day. I made a comment already and I need to go back and make more detailed comment.

Knol Author Foundation Congratulates Professor Rao
/EINPresswire.com/ Knol Author Foundation (KAF) congratulates Professor K.V.S.S. Narayana Rao, the top contributor, guide and influential leader on the knol platform.
Knol Author Foundation (KAF) congratulates Professor K.V.S.S. Narayana Rao, National Institute of Industrial Engineering (NITIE), Mumbai, India for achieving 100,000 page views a month for his knol portfolio. Right from day one, he realized the need for cooperation among knol authors to support and promote the newly started wiki-based article platform and he started vigorously posting knols on vital subjects. He encouraged many authors through comments. While the idea of an author association germinated in many authors’ minds, Prof. Rao took significant steps to contact and bring top authors at that time together and played an active role in the formation of Knol Author Federation (KAF). As the president of the foundation, he has worked continuously for the success of the knol platform. Knol author bulletin board, Knol Directory of interesting Knols, and knols on the topic of Knol promotion are some of his significant knols. Apart from writing large number of knols on Industrial Engineering and Management, he has significantly succeeded in recruiting new authors. He has also promoted the Knol platform in social media and took great pains to answer various negative comments on Knol. He is promoting knol on Twitter, Facebook, Orkut and Google+. He has a number of followers and fans.
Dr. Narayana Rao presented his course plans and course related material through Knol articles and his students appreciated the focused articles on various topics on the subject. Students also shared their course assignments on Knol, thereby facilitating knowledge sharing among students themselves. He was awarded the first prize for this innovative successful use of Knol in business school pedagogy by the Association of Indian Management Schools . His innovative mind came up with the Knol book concept incorporating chapters and sections in Knol collections (today a feature of Knol) and today a large number of Knol books are available on various subjects. The interesting feature of Knol book is that it combines articles by various authors written at various points in time into a unified whole that is of great benefit to learners. This collection also facilitates identifying gaps and filling those gaps by Knol authors.http://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gif
One of the important contributions of Prof. Narayana Rao is coming out with the estimate of unique monthly visitors for Knol and bringing out the fact that Knol is now a Top 1000 website.
Also Knol Author Foundation welcomes ” I love Google Knol campaign.”
Knol author foundation reiterates its faith in Knol as a cutting edge knowledge library in the cloud and specially congratulates Professor Narayana Rao for his wise leadership that has influenced many authors to contribute actively on Knol.

A Daily Newspaper from Narayana Rao
Paper.li is providing the opportunity for public to create newspapers of their editing and design through the use of Twitter and Facebook. I created the newspaper - Engineering and Management News. I am quiet excited about this form of online presentation. I am now learning its features. Once I understand all its features, I shall be able to provide very good reading experience to my friends, alumni and students. It is a good way to presenting various blog articles and knol articles written by me so far.

Particles travelling at speed higher than light - Observation - 2011
The OPERA experiments observed that neutrinos are travelling at a speed higher than that of light in vacuum. The scientists were by humble to state the result in a very polite way and calling for further independent studies to confirm their observations.
The original paper and the first seminar video are in public domain for free access. It will be interesting to follow this scientific discovery process to understand how scientific research proceeds in such important issues.
Links to various articles and comments are available in an article on Knol.

Author Platform
Author platform is the foundation using which you are going to do mass marketing of your book for publication.
Earlier this platform was developed by publisher's publicity department. Now in the online age, authors themselves have to take up that task.
http://www.forbes.com/sites/booked/2011/07/26/the-new-author-platform-what-writers-need-to-know/
Author platform can be developed in multiple ways.
Famous in a profession, occupation or as artist.
Famous as a speaker
Existing business contacts and fame
Popular blog or website
Big email list of contacts developed through some online activity
Famous as a podcaster
Thousands of followers on Twitter, Facebook, Google+ - Social network followers
Existing successful published books
Successful book promotion experience through Web 2.0 options
How do you build the author platform? You have to build it brick by brick and in digital media click by click. Start participating in online activity as early as possible and build your author platform.
http://www.thecreativepenn.com/2009/06/26/author-platform/
Today I have 150,000 page views to my online articles and blog posts.
When in 2005 I had made my first blog post, I started from scratch. The platform was built over a period of six years and my online page views are equivalent to a successful book today. I shall share my experience in some posts in the future.

You can Reshare Popular Knols through Your blogs -
This is the thought of the day.
Captured the idea in a blog post, some knols and some blogs. Excellent material is there on Knol and blog writers can use it to increase content in their knols. Educational institutes can host it on their websites. They have to comply with license. But it is easy. Specify the source clearly and allow access to the material without charging any fee.
My blog post on it on About Knol Blog.
You can use guest bloggers. You can also use reshared online content and expand your blog and provide more to read for your community of readers. There is excellent material on Google Knol.
Knol has the provision for resharing of knols on blogs and websites. There are many knols that specified creative commons license and all these knols can be reshared by interested bloggers and web masters.
I am developing a knol collection for facilitating such resharing.

10 Million Page Views for Online Articles Possible
There are online article writers on Hubpages, Associated content, Ezine, etc. with 10 million page views (Details of 10 million authors ). Even on Knol there is one author now with 5 million page views and in a year's time, he will reach 10 million page views. There are some more authors who will reach such milestones on Knol. I am presently having 35,000 page views and some time back, the number could be 50,000 page views. The number is likely to increase as the Knol platform becomes more popular and authors support each other more.
So there is scope for online writing even now. Especially when the area of writing is areas where online content is sparse, the chance of success increases significantly.

Faculty members can write Textbooks on Knol
Knol is a wiki-based predominantly academic article writing platform promoted by Google. The platform has promoted writing textbooks on it. Textbooks can be written in various models on it. One model is to write it as one knol or one web page for each section of a chapter. That way a book can be written in around 300 pages and an automatic navigation is provided by the Knol collection feature.
There is convenience and reward for writing a textbook on Knol. The expected revenue earned can be same as print publication as there is global audience on Knol.

Knol is A Unique ICT Resource for Faculty Members
What are the unique features of Knol?
1. Wiki technology.
Wiki technology makes collaboration possible and also makes it easy. Groups of authors can come together and write articles or prepare lists.
2. Author identification
Very essential for identification of course plans and course materials by individual faculty members. Also when students post their assignments, author identify is very essential. Author identity on a popular wiki platform is a unique feature of Knol. Google's ownership makes it a popular platform. Authors join it without hesitation once they appreciate its utility.
3. Scope for diverse articles on the same topic.
Different faculty members from different institutions have to post their materials and course plans. Hence the platform must have the willingness to support many different knols/articles/essays on the platform. Another distinct feature of the knol that makes it ideal for use by faculty members.
4. Comments
Facilitates interaction among learners, subject faculty, other faculty of the same institute, other faculty of different institutes, alumni, and practitioners. Provides evaluation of learning of any institute by global a community
5. Knol Collection Facility
Provides an ability to assemble Globally best study material support for any course.

Sharing a Current Concern with Amitabh bachchan - Memory Problems in Old Age
"As one grows older one notices many such incidents creeping in. The need to go into another room to fetch an object required for work or for use, will indeed take you to the other room, but as you get there you discover that the reason to be there has disappeared from your mind. You may be wearing your spectacles on top of your head for easy access later on, but when the time comes to use it you look for it through hill and dale, until someone pulls it off your head and thrusts it in front of you !!"
"In the privacy of your room or home this would not be given much attention, but when it appears in public, the repercussions could be quite severe."
http://bigb.bigadda.com/?p=4392
Well there is a price becoming big and old with age.

Created a knol on friendship day and included a set of activities that can be done on friendship day. Eight of the activities were done by me next day. Got in touch with kids in my building as well as my friends all over India and abroad. The day was spent with action and enthusiasm.

Knol Directory
http://knol.google.com/k/narayana-rao-kvss/knol-directory-of-interesting-knols/2utb2lsm2k7a/1308#
I am preparing a knol directory of interesting knols. For many days, many of the visitors and authors felt a directory of knols is not there to find good knols easily. I hope this attempt by me will fill that void and provide a window for knol visitors to find interesting knols on various topics easily.

Handbook of Business Management
Knol has helped me to assemble a handbook of management knowledge revision and also a handbook of business management.
This handbook will have articles on all subjects of management curriculum including various elective streams (finance, HR, Marketing, Operations etc.) in due course of time. All the articles will be articles appreciated by sizeable number of readers. All the articles are available for free download by readers. The articles keep on improving as authors update them and the handbook will also keep improving as more articles are added to the collection.

IIIT JEE 2010 and 2011 Study Plan and Study Guide
I just completed posting detailed study plans for each of the chapters in Mathematics. That leaves only XII portion of chemistry to be posted now. I shall do it in this week.
As I prepared these plans, now I realize, students can plan and study the subject without stress with a disciplined effort. They require a genuine interest in knowledge. As each day they acquire more knowledge their happiness should increase and this will create a relaxation in the body and mind. A structured and planned study will help the brain in storing and recollecting the information with less effort. This will further decrease mental strain and increase happiness.

IIT JEE Mathematics Study Plan
These days I am spending time on developing study plan for various chapters of IIT text books. I already published annual plans for all three subjects for JEE 2010 and JEE 2011. These give the daily minimum study required to complete the course by 31 December end of the respective year.
Candidates can customise the chapters based on the chapter being taught by their college teachers/coaching class teachers. But it gives a milestone chart for candidates to redesign their plan.
Just now I posted the chapter study plan for Binomial theorem.

IIT JEE 2011 Study Plan
Based on the experience I had with my child, I think it is important to have a study plan right from the day one of the preparation. That will give you an idea of the work involved in learning for a slot in the top 5000 students of India at this point in time. It is good that more and more persons are trying to prove their capability in this examination. Even if someone does not get a rank in this examination, his determination and effort to succeed will stay with him throughout his life and some of the persons may gain in ranking subsequently even though they may not get the rank now.
Life give more chances to prove your worth, and therefore even if you do not succeed at one chance, you need not give up. You can try for another chance.
I prepared study plans for two years 2009-10 (XI portion) and 2010-11(XII portion) and published them in a blog IIT JEE 2011. The physics plan of the 2009-10 can be accessed from

Some snippets
Keep your charts up-to-date
Watch your charts with a trend template
Trend is the horse
That draws your capital cart in the bourse.
--------
The stock broker says, what is your stop loss?
The customer says, why should I stop my loss?
I am in it for profit
Why should I drop it?

Risk does not mean only reward and capital gain
It also means loss and mental pain.

Intersting Thought by William Arthur Ward
“Every person has the power to make others happy.
Some do it simply by entering a room --
others by leaving the room.
Some individuals leave trails of gloom;
others, trails of joy.
Some leave trails of hate and bitterness;
others, trails of love and harmony.
Some leave trails of cynicism and pessimism;
others trails of faith and optimism.
Some leave trails of criticism and resignation;
others trails of gratitude and hope.
What kind of trails do you leave?”

Mobile Slums - Mumbai Local Trains
I made an entry with this title in mumbai local train orkut community.
All subsidies have to be removed in Mumbai for decongesting it.
Subsidies and incentives may be given in other cities to promote their development.
Even central and state governments should increase city compensatory allowance for their employees properly. The government knows the expense it incurs by keeping government employees in Mumbai. It will make efforts to shift people to other cities.
No subsidized kerosene in Mumbai.

Learning for IIT JEE 2010
I started a new blog
iit-jee-2010.blogspot.com
The blog will give a daily schedule of sections to be studied in chapter and examples and problems that are to be done for chemistry, mathematics and physics. The idea is to come out with a six month schedule during which all the problems and questions are attempted along with the lessons and examples within the lessons.
Then the aspirants can develop their own plan for revising and practicing so that they can recollect the material comfortably.

Knols by Nrao on Selling Process
I am capturing my understandng of various topics in management in articles on Knol. this knol writing is giving me an opportunity to reread the concerned texts, my notes, articles etc. I am revising the material first and then presenting it as an article that will be useful as revision material to managers and MBA grads.
I hope to develop them into full fledged articles that will be useful even to beginners probably in the next round of writing after an year or so. By that I hope to complete the round of writing revision focused articles.

IITs and IIMs are not Brands
I read the following piece from a new item on IIT meet at New York (IIT Bombay Golden Jubilee Conference 2008, held at the Marriott Marquis Hotel Times Square in New York City, July 18-20)
Touching upon the challenges, Roopa Gir (Director, Corporate Technology Watch, Schlumberger) pointed out that with the announcement of reservations for OBCs, the quotas have gone up from 22-and-half percent to almost 50 percent now for students; 30-40 percent faculty positions have fallen vacant and as more students get admissions under the quota, the faculty ratio of vacancies will go up to 50 percent.Gir said that students have cracked the IIT-JEE entrance examination and so nearly 90 percent students who qualify for admissions are not of high quality.
The IIT-JEE private coaching has emerged as a multi-billion dollar business in India, she further pointed out. "Just preparing students for the IIT entrance exam is a Rs. 20,000 crore (approx $4.5 billion) business."The other points she raised were of faculty development and diversification of IITs to include disciplines in medicine, law, arts and so on.Talking of capacity constraints in existing IITs, Victor Menezes (former Vice Chairman, Citigroup) said, "We take great pride that only one percent of students who qualify get admission to IITs.
That's a ridiculous statistic to be proud of. It's like being in a luxury liner vainly polishing the brass while sailing in a sea of icebergs."Menezes said that while a lot is being done to project the brand IIT, the brand itself is getting outstripped. "I don't believe it's about buildings or money, but it's about governance and accountability."With 90% of the funding coming from the government, IITs will never achieve independence.
Echoing Menezes' sentiments on brand IIT, Girish Reddy, Co-founder of Prisma Capital Partners said, "We are under significant threat of brand dilution because of various factors like growth, expansion, more students, lack of faculty, and so on. It was Reddy who mooted the idea of developing centers of excellence rather than go for multi-disciplinary IITs.Reddy also criticized the Indian government's rapid expansion plans. "The new expansion is based on the cookie-cutter model cast 50 years ago.
That won't work," he said.Touching on the issue of caste-based reservations, Rajat Gupta, Sr. Partner Emeritus, McKinsey & Company, said that along with quality of education and expansion, there has to be inclusiveness in education. "We can't say 'no' to reservations and need to change our attitude on that," he added.As for viability of the institutions, Gupta pointed out that world over institutions imparting higher education are by and large, not-for-profit institutions. "But that doesn't mean they cannot make profits," he adds.
"It should be profitable, but the profits should be ploughed back. In India, there are many higher educational institutions which run only for profit, and they are all of bad quality."The tripling of the IITs in 50 years since the first one was set up is just one percent growth and it's not enough, Gupta stressed.The panel felt that teaching and research needed to be integrated within the academic institution itself in order to retain faculty.
My opinion is that people should not look at IITs and IIMs as Brands, which are to be protected so that its past alumni enjoy brand benefits. They should be viewed as successful education institution models in India, and an effort has to be made to expand them both in their current locations and in new locations.
Expansion of high quality higher education institutes requires and whenever government feels it has the necessary resources it will expand.
Frequently, people talk of lack of faculty. The current faculty must be prepared to develop the existing resources rather than condemning the existing resources as not fit for development. Such elitist attitude "except we no body can" is not proper attitude. Teachers must have willingness to develop students who gather around them through some process. They should not reject any student provided they have a seat which can be offered to him. When society is willing to set up high quality institutions, the present faculty must come forward to upgrade the knowledge and skill levels of others who are willing to be faculty in the new institutes rather than declaring opposition to them with the argument that high quality faculty are not available in the country.
Come out with a processs to improve the faculty and potential faculty currently existing in the country are around. Brilliance of the existing faculty must be used to expand the faculty resources.

IIT JEE Study Guide, Tutorial, Revision Material, Notes
I am very happy that the blogs started by me for JEE Physics and Chemistry have developed well and they are being used by many aspirants in the recent days. I hope to improve them during the course of the year to make them more useful for JEE 2009.
Presently I am writing concept review material for the chapters of book 2 of HC Verma. HC Verma is a very good book for Physics. If one reads the book very thorougly he will be able to answer all objective questions that were asked so far in IIT JEE. I checked this in answering questions related to thermal physics so far.

NITIE Alumni in USA
As I am trying to assemble a blog on NITIE alumni, I am coming across useful information. Today I find that an alumnus is a vice president in a company associated with trading on Madison Avenue in New York. I was there in October 2007 roaming the avenue for two days. I could have said hello to him if I knew it then.

India Budget 2008-09 - A Critical Look

IIT JEE Revision Points
My IIT JEE Revision points in Chemistry (www.iit-jee-chemistry.blogspot.com) are found useful by various persons. The candidates are circulating them through other sites. I saw earlier posting by NITU. Now I saw the posting in Goiit community discussions.

Problogger
www.problogger.net
I visited problogger.net and it seems to have interesting information for bloggers.
I found the post on earning from sites interesting. The sources of revenue for the publisher of the site are given as
1. Chitika
They offer a variety of ad units and income streams - eMiniMalls, Related Product Units and Shoplincs.
Problogger has plenty of Chitika Optimization tips.
2. AdSense
The most popular form of advertising on blogs is AdSense (according to a few studies that I’ve seen). For tips on optimizing AdSense on your blog check out 8 part series - www.problogger.net.
3. Text Link Ads
While they have a ceiling in what they earn per site they are another good solid earner for me - particularly now that they’ve added feedvertising (RSS ads) which out performs any other type of RSS ad that I’ve tried. I’m hearing from many bloggers that TLA is their biggest earner now. It works best on sites that have been around for a while - you don’t need big traffic to be accepted - but having a page rank and some search engine presence helps.
4. Amazon Associates
The forth Quarter of each year tends to be a good one for me when it comes to commissions from Amazon. The last quarter is a time that people are in a buying mood in the lead up to Christmas - can bring great conversions. The key is picking relevant products to promote. Read more tips on affiliate programs for blogs for a few other tips on optimizing Amazon on www.problogger.net.
