Another Google product bites the dust. They say:
Knol will be discontinued as a service, but we've worked with Solvitor and Crowd Favorite to create Annotum, an open-source platform based upon WordPress that allows you to continue authoring and publishing scholarly articles. You can migrate your knols to WordPress and continue your work with Annotum. After May 1, you will no longer be able to create, view, enter or edit knols, but you will be able to export your knols to WordPress.com and download them to file through October 1st, 2012.

No big surprise there - the main surprise was that it's taken them this long to decide to get rid of it really. Not that it took off at all - there wasn't much of a ripple when it was announced, and it's never really hit the headlines since. I guess most people will shrug and say 'What was that then?'
