to me
As part of Google's prioritization of product efforts, we will be retiring Knol. From now through April 30th, 2012, Knol will work as usual, but we've made it easy for you to download your knols to file and/or export them to Wordpress.com. From May 1, 2012 through October 1, 2012, knols will no longer be viewable, but can be downloaded and exported. After that time, knol content will no longer be accessible. We hope that this timeline provides you ample time to transition your content. For more information, please visit our FAQ: https://knol-redirects.appspot.com/faq.html

Thank you,
The Knol team

      Excellent point! But not everybody has the resources for a gentle landing; The engines burst into flames and they pummel to the ground. I imagine their 'reputation' is the last thing on their mind. I do agree in part though; they could at least warn the passengers!

      Ok..too analogous haha
