Wiki vs Blog

People have asked about the differences between wikis and blogs. This PPT presentation about wikis by Meredith G. Farkas does a quick comparison.

Wikis:

• No one owns content
• No specific organization (hyperlinks)
• Anyone can edit other people’s work.
• Perpetual work in progress
• Good for collaborative group work

Blogs:
• A person owns their post
• Specific organization (reverse chronological)
• Only the author can edit their own work (others can comment)
• Posts are permanent
• Good for disseminating information/starting a dialogue
