Blog v Wiki

Every wondered what in the world is the difference between a blog and a wiki..Well guess what? I'm going to elaborate and try to tell them apart for you. 

A Wiki is a website that pretty much allows many users to edit and put their own feedback to a webpage.  Meanwhile, A Blog is more of an up to date web page that is more of like put your comments on a page. Usually, a blog has one author who post and people can comment and it's all one post at a time.

A wiki is more of a many to many forms of communication as opposed to a blog which is a one to many communication. 

A Blog can be used for collaboration because it can build a whole conversation in the use of comments. It's a way to put ideas out there and at the same time get a feedback team. One thing that should be able to be done with Wiki is NOT to allow for things to erased. Instead of really editing it should be more of an add-on. 

The article "Wikipedia to Limit Changes to Articles on People" by Noam Cohen addresses the point I made about revisions of Wikipedia and it being approved before the change is made. I always found it interesting how just anyone can edit these pages without no complications. This article makes a point that Wikipedia is no longer of interest to users as it was before.

Also, another article “A Rorschach cheat sheet on Wikipedia” by Noam Cohen points out how Wikipedia is such the good source to teach on. Just think about it, you can get answers and then update the article to show no evidence of anything of something that was once there.
