Blogs vs. Wikis
So, what is the difference between a blog and a wiki? Well, I think the biggest difference right off the bat is the amount of contributors. Usually, a blog is only posted to by one person. There are instances where a group has a blog, and then, more people post, but I don’t think they are the norm. The other thing about a blog is that it is generally arranged in chronilogical order.
A wiki is more like a living web page. It has multiple contributors. A wiki generally has several different pages and the different members of the wiki can modify, edit, or add to any of the pages based on the permission the wiki’s owner gives out.
Blogs are good tools for updates or news items. Also, blogs are a good place for static information. Generally, you write an entry, and then you leave it be. You don’t go back and change it or update it. When you want to share new information, you create a new post.
On the contrary, wikis are good for information that is constantly changing or being updated. Wikis are good places for collaborative projects or for documents that are worked on by more than one person.
