Blog vs Wiki

by - 9:37 PM

Hello,

First of all, I would like to explain my decision to start this communication in blogging form. There are a lot of different ways of communication within new media nowadays. The main competitor to blog is wiki.

Blog is an abbreviated version of Weblog, which is a term used to describe Web sites that maintain an ongoing chronicle of information. A blog is a frequently updated, personal Web site featuring diary-type commentary and links to articles or other Web sites.
Blog is usually launched by one person and the communication occurs in posts-comments (or one-to-many) form. Nobody can change the information except the owner of the blog. Blogger shares his or her opinion with audience. Blog grows slowly and can refer the reader to other web pages.

A wiki is a website that allows multiple users to create, modify and organize web page content in a collaborative manner.
Wiki is created by group of people. It is the best way for business to communicate and share information (as database) within the small group. Everybody can add whatever he or she want. The communication is integrated for group (many-to-many form). It grows rapidly and links one wiki page to another.


I chose to create a blog, because I want to share my individual experience with others. I don’t want any one to modify my posts. The purpose is creating an online journal for random readers.
