It seems that Google didn't miss Knol by accident when the company was killing Dodgeball, Jaiku, and other services two weeks ago. Matt Cutts has stepped forward to defend the would-be Wikipedia competitor, and a new contest aims to spark a bit of interest in it.
Cutts started by bringing up the 100,000-article mark that Knol recently hit. He noted on his blog that, even if the number sounds insignificant next to Wikipedia's 2.7 million pages, "Mashable made a point that 'it took Wikipedia almost two years to reach a similar number of pages.'"
