Week 2 - Wiki

Differences between Blogs and Wikis

A wiki is a website where users can add, remove, and edit every page using a web browser
and link pages together. They are used to create community websites. Wikis can be used for group projects.

A blog is a website where entries are displayed and provide comments or news on a particular subject. Blogs combine text, images, and links to other blogs.

I agree with your assessment of a blogs versus wikis. I hadn't thought about blogs containing anything other than text. The thing with blogs and wikis is authencity of information. I don't think either page is there to say a definitive thing about any topics covered, just instances of "true" information. In another instance, new information may make something previously posted on a blog untrue. I find that fludity a challenge with "buying" into blogs and wikis. Nevertheless, I appreciate how easy blogs and wikis make it to create an online worksite for groups. MKS
