Google Knol is a great Web 2.0 application for anyone to use and benefit from. Since its development and introduction into the market, Google began to compete with Wikimedia and it’s ever expanding Wikipedia in the information era to allow the consumers of the world to use and contribute to the ever changing industry of information.

With these two applications in existence, any and everyone can benefit from their information. The articles that are produced are vast and cover a wide range of topics that may spur the interest of many businesspeople, companies, employers, and employees alike. Businesses can post a Google Knol about their own company for others to see and attract business and sales of their products, employers can post possible job listings and qualifications in a knol as well, and prospective employees would benefit from looking up such information on Wikipedia or Google Knol before going on a job interview in order to be a better candidate for a job listing that he or she was applying for.

So, as anyone can see, anyone can use Google Knol or Wikipedia to gain knowledge on just about anything. After all, you don’t have to be Einstein to know about his law of relativity.
