The language support now extends to French, German and Italian. The problem that arises here is of Knol becoming a super spot for all those spammers to make posts and cash in on advertisements provided by AdSense.

Duncan Riley had earlier welcomed the idea to be an abode for spammers. I might have sounded a bit harsh above, but spanning so fast and specially knowing how Blogspot/Blogger had been swarmed by spammers to munch in revenue, Google should have been a bit grippy about offering so much so early.
