Google Rejected by Vacuum Cleaner

Hilco Knol, owner of Knol.com which represents his shop that sells vacuum cleaners and the like sent a reported xx,xxx offer from Google apacking. I don’t blame the guy. This is your family name that you have secured since 2002. Moreover, it represents your livlihood and now Google wants it because they created some knowledgeum on knol.Google.com. The knol is a “unit of knowledge.” Yeah whatever Google, you should have thought this one through. In the end, Google will be able to acquire the name if they throw their cash around. If I’m Hilco, I wait this one out. Google has deeeeeep pockets and has been willing to pay people off for what they want. It’s also a little late for them to try to get the toothpaste back in the tube since they already launched the knol concept. In the end, it probably gets sold because from all accounts he’s a businessman first and indicated he would think about a higher offer in the xxx,xxx range. Still, wouldn’t it be awesome if a vacuum owner was too strong for Google and the mega corp couldn’t get its way?

Go Stumble Upon Knol.com, the most famous vacuum site in the world.

By the way, hypothetical street value of Knol would be around $5,000.

Here is the official info about the knol project.
