Best Alternatives to Google Knol

[geteducated]

We have some Google Knols that have done well but now they have to be moved (Google closing). The popular alternatives are:

1. Annotum (new, based on Wordpress and containing scholarly articles)
2. Wordpress.com
3. Blogger

Although those could work I am seeking out other viable alternatives. Any suggestions? Squidoo is spammy but has anyone had any good things to say about it? Thanks!

If you have valuable content I believe that you should get your own domain and host your content there.

Then you have full control over format and the site will not be closed down because of a corporate decision.

I know a guy who lost a PR7 website making lots of money when the free service that he was using shut down.  Years of work down the drain with no opportunity to redirect the pages.  He lost thousands of dollars per month in income.

EGOL,

You always offer some of the best advice on the forum so I appreciate you taking the time on this one. The point you make is good and I agree about retaining control. We have plenty of great content on our site (we are redoing it at the moment so it will look better alongside improved structure) and want to have solid content elsewhere to improve our footprint of discovery. These are evergreen pieces that offer a gateway into all that we have on our site. We could easily go with any of the three options mentioned already but I am wondering about alternatives the community here might suggest.

are you suggesting one central location for all articles that link back to your main site?

Linda,

No just some alternatives that are like or better than Google Knols. A list of possible solutions that might be good to look at that people have used before with some success.
