Blogs v. Wiki

Blogs and Wiki are both very similar as well as very different. Blogs usually are with one author, not as constantly updated. Wiki you are able to have multiple authors editing at a constant. A blog is an online diary much directed by ones opinions and feelings. Both websites are public ways to state facts and opinions. Its great to have so many outlets where ones voice can be heard and stated. Blogs and wikis are almost like books that are updated at more of a frequent. Both make information very freely and instantly available. Blogs can be uses as collaboration as we are doing in our class. Only having separate blogs with similar topics, but linking them together and commenting on each other’s. People from different countries can collaborate together through blogs on similar subjects doing just what we as a class are doing. Blogging has become both mainstream and much more popular with politics. They began to be used in 2004 in politics to help spread word and positions on such political matters. WikiLeaks has also become a big contender in poltics. Leaking private classified government documents that cant be taken down, and is for everyone to see, and helps dilute the bias in the news. Wiki and blogs are definitely a big part of our world today, and I believe will still continue to be apart of it. A new form of wiki could be made if you were allowed to edit but it must be checked before it’s posted.
