Blogs Vs Wikis

It is true that both Blogs and Wikis are useful to people in order to communicated, get aware or noticed something new or something that would coming. Lets discuss more deeply about these two media. In the blogs people can have their own account in which can publish about opinion, feeling and passion on the world wide web, letting know to other people or a small group of people about the new subject in a short or long message. Blogs are own by one single person, meaning that no one is able to edit the massage or put other information or extra information about the subject but visitors can leave comments about the subject that is discussing in the blog. The blogs can use as a personal diaries because a person can write about his/her experiences during the day and share to other person that it does the same in the blog. Companies or Industries use the blog in the terms of advertising their products to people with images, text links to other blogs or wed pages. all of these are a blogs or social networks.
Wiki is a web page in which people are able to add, modify or delete content at any time. A Wiki is not owned by a single person, meaning that anyone that have access to the web can post information in the wikipage. The wiki-page provide lot of information to people and most of this information rely from newspapers, magazines, books, projects and other sources, so the information provided in the wiki-page is considered believable or trustworthy. Wiki has everything image, links, easy to access to other webpages and visitors can collaborated in a particular wiki-project or text. but what is difficult is the wiki-text because it has its own language in order to edit or do something else in the wiki-page, it is not as the blog write and publish on the web. This is wiki.

  1. Hi,
    I agree with you when you say that blogs are more personal when compared with wikis. However, I do feel like the 2 are becoming more similar because now blogs can be set up so multiple users from different accounts can post and contribute. It's all about the way you have it set up. :)
