It is on a subject I do know well, and the article would be helpful to visitors, but it also would potentially drive those visitors to my own site, which again would be helpful to those visitors. Will be interesting to see whether it shows up in SERPs or drives any traffic. There is nothing underhanded or anything in it, I just happen to know about the industry that I work in.

Looks like a spam tidal wave, I feel like my work was positively objective by comparison. The links are nofollow, so maybe it won't get too bad, but there are so many links in articles you wonder if the Knol itself actually has any info in it.
