The redesign is still very early in development but Happy Cog is asking that you take a look at each concept and then drop them a line in their comments section to provide feedback on what you think.

Happy Cog says ” Exposing these designs at an early stage in their development creates a powerful communication channel to help us find out what works, what doesn’t work, and start an open dialog with the community.”

Ask.com introduced a feature called AskEraser which does the job for all that thinking. AskEraser works in a very simple and easy manner .It can be explained in one simple term “Whatever you search gets wiped and erased and deleted as soon as you close the browser”.

AskEraser can be easily activated and used by clicking a link on the upper right corner of the Ask Homepage and. Enabling it will wipe all the history and cookies from the Ask.com servers and user computer. The working is very simple , Ask.com creates a reverse cookie in the user’s computer as soon as AskEraser feature is enabled. This reverse cookie creates a entry for not storing any information from the Ask.com website. As cookies aren’t created, there isn’t any history created in the Ask.com servers. Its effect will remain till the user uses the same browser and doesn’t delete the cookies. But if the user does delete cookies everytime it closes it browser then the user will have to enable AskEraser feature every time the user wants some privacy from Ask.com.

Still its not very clear how much deep this feature might work as it doesn’t state anything about the cookies saved by advertisers. But sure enough if such service keep on emerging privacy can be retained for each and every user on this InternetSphere.

KNOL can be easily differentiated from any other online encyclopedia by its special emphasis on the author driven pages which can are created by authors on that topic though It can be edited by users and are free to contribute while creating similar knols on the same topic by members of same community with comments,questions and discussions regarding the same but the more credential are given to the expert author who has good knowledge about in the same field than to the user. Google promises to have no control over the material generated by Knol users.

Google will also seek permission from authors whether to use advertisements for their knols and it also promises to share the earned revenue. Although this could be a good step as it won’t create any complications later as in the case of YouTube. Google also stated that these pages will be available to all search engines but its still not very clearly stated what rank it will have compared to other relevant results in organic search. If this isn’t clear it could create very big set back for other wiki sites/online encyclopedia websites as all the search terms which provide results of wiki websites will have search results of KNOL as Google is undoubtedly the only leader and preferred search engine beside other competitors.
