The Google Chrome Comic Book

This is not exactly news at this point, but I am blogging about it because I am going to use the Google Chrome Comic Book as an example of an effective albeit it unusual technical document in a talk I am doing today for prospective applicants to our graduate program in technical and scientific communication.

As many of us know, Google had made this comic book accessible to select members of writers about technology days before the Chrome was officially announced. Hiring Scott McCloud to create the comic didn't hurt the cause either.

Here is another link I'd like to show them today:

For sending this to me, a big "thank you" to my colleague Liam Buckley.

Google's Knol

Matt Barton is blogging about Google's new project called Knol.
This will probably be competition for Wikipedia, although, if you read
the article, you will notice that Google's approach to the
collaborative creation and dissemination of knowledge is quite
different from Wikipedia's. On the other hand, this embarrassment of
riches when it comes to online writing environments may just confuse
people. We'll see.
