Thing 22

How does a wiki differ from a blog?

A blog is a communication from one person to others. The "others" may comment on the blog owners blogging but, not edit what a person has. Basically a blog belongs to one person
and others are merely visitors and "commenters".

A wiki is a document created by one person which turns into a collaborate document. All the contributers become authors of the document not just commenters of the original author's work.


When is one more appropriate to use than the other?

I think a blog is better when you want ownership and want to share your thoughts, information, etc with others. A wiki would be better if you want a group of people to contribute to the final project. Hope this makes since??? I get it but not sure I explained it well??

Here is my wiki...
