Google recently launched the public beta of Google Knol on the 23rd of July. Knol is similar and yet different to Wikipedia in some ways. Firstly, Wikipedia users can create and edit any article they like (although there are some restrictions to seniority) but Knol is has articles created by authors who can choose whether to let other users or specific authors to edit their articles. What makes Google Knol so interesting is that it allows you to place Google Adsense advertisements on your Kn
