Blog & Wiki---Their Differences
A wiki is a database of pages, built upon comments, which visitors can actually edit. You can generally edit a page in real time, search the wiki’s content, and view updates since your last visit. In a “moderated wiki”, wicki owners review comments before addition to the main body of a topic.
Additional features can include calendar sharing, live AV conferencing, RSS feeds and more.
Risks depend on whether you are building a freely editable and public wiki, or need to be conscious of privacy and security in your enterprise. There can also be issues of legal liability and risk to reputation, particularly if you publish to the web. Options such as a moderated wiki format, user agreements, and locking some pages from public view can offer protection.
A blog a personal diary; a daily pulpit; a collaborative space; a political soapbox; a breaking news outlet; a collection of links; your own private thoughts; memos to the world.
Your blog is whatever you want it to be. There are millions of them, in all shapes and sizes, and there are no real rules.
In simple terms, a blog is a website, where you write stuff on an ongoing basis. New stuff shows up at the top, so your visitors can read what’s new. Then they comment on it or link to it or email you, or not email you.
Since Blogger was launched in 1999, blogs have reshaped the web, impacted politics, shaken up journalism, and enabled millions of people to have a voice and connect with others.
And we’re pretty sure the whole deal is just getting started.
That is all I could find about blogs and wikis! Perhaps after I have completed this class, I will be able to share more light on this topic.
