Blogs and Wikis are similar; both are used to post information. However, there are some differences between them. Blogs contains posts that can be edited only by the blogger; anyone can comment on the blogs, the basic idea of the blog is communicate different ideas, opinions, or events to others. Wikis are more complicated to work on than Blogs. Wikis can be edited, contributed, or designed by anyone. They can be very helpful for educational purposes or group assignments because Wikis are a group effort, which not only is written by one person; it is written, edited, designed, or re-designed by each of the different group members.
Blogs and Wikis are part of the today's network resources and it is used more and more often for business-as it is mentioned in "How to use Wikis for Business" By Ezra Goodnoe-, educational, social, etc. purposes. It is important to be familiar with them, know how to make use of the information that is posted, and also, know how to contribute, extending the information data that will help the entire group. Wikis and blogs are very popular.
Blogs can be used for collaboration. Even though, it is unilateral communication source. It has the information posted by the blogger, and can be commented by other members. Like this, Blogs allow all the bloggers to collaborate for the development of a topic, idea, or project between groups of people. It is important to mention that the information of a Blog, which comes from only one author, is more reliable than the information posted on Wikis. According to “Wikipedia to limit changes to articles on people” by New York Times, wikis, like Wikipedia, have multiples editors and contributors, who have the power to change information and details that may lead to non-accurate information , without having a single assigned responsibility.
