Want to make a quick fifty bucks? Head over to Voltage and come up with a worse brand name than "Knol". Wade Meredith, SEM Account Manager at Voltage Creative in Kansas City, thinks Knol -- Google's name for its Wikipedia competitor -- is a terrible brand name. "I couldn't think of a worse name if I tried."

If you can come up with a worse brand name (with a few limitations -- namely, Cuil doesn't count), Voltage will PayPal you $50. Worth a shot, at least, eh?
