i think the difference is that a blog you start a conversation and it jus gets bigger and bigger and keeps going but for a wiki its for information

Anonymous said...

blogs are things we do to write about questions and answer them same with a wiki the information is for every body the difference is blogs are always accurate but wiki's arn't 100% accurate

In the comparision between the two the blogs you can only just send to a certain person and only that one person but on the wiki you can send it to more than one and you can edit it as the new person gets it.

The difference between blogs and wikis is that a blog is something you write as an opinion on a site, while a wiki is just a website that you would use for writing a list.

The things with blogs and wiki's is that some not all people think they are the same. Well there not with blogs once posted they cannot be edited at all by the students only the website master can do that. With wiki's they can be edited whenever the people want. you can post new links. the thing with blogs is that they're alot safer to use because of the fact that they cannot be changed so with wiki people can change your typed words to anything they feel like.

Wikis you can change anything anywhere, where as in blogs it has a moderator and only the moderator has access to change anything in the blog. Lots of blogs are mostly about peoples opinion on things and no one can change it, and in wikis you can change anything into lies that some people may believe, or spread rumors about someone.

The differance between a wiki and a blog is in a wiki you can write stuff and you can also edit other peoples posts. with a blog you can only edit your blogs making it harder to comunicate

A blog is a more personal thing, a wiki is about something or a plan between friends. On a blog you are the only one that edits it, on a wiki anyone can edit it. Those are the main differences of a wiki page and a blog.

I think the difference between the two is that blogs you cant change what the person wrote, and wikis you can change what the person wrote and its not always true. I dont think i would go to wikis if i were to search something because i would'nt know if it would be the right information to use. It would be better to use blogs.

Blogs you can read and write what you think about that blog.
Wiki's you can read and change stuff on that page to make it not true or to what you think is true.

The most noticeable difference between blogs and wikis is that anyone can edit something on a wiki at anytime but with blogs only the person who made it can edit it. Wikis are also used for providing info and planning. Blogs are mostly used to share personal interests.

Blogs and Wiki's are the same because someone can post information and others can comment on it.
They're different because blogs have comments, that cannot be changed, about personal opinions and thoughts and Wikis can be changed and re-organized to match another person's ideas.

When people use wikis they dont know that some of the imformation was or could be changed by anyone at anytime,and blogs are personal websites thats usually maintained by an individual, with regular entries. blogs can usually be commented on by anyone unless they are private blogs.

Blogs are a good source of communication and discussion. You can talk about interests and have other comment back with similar interests. Wiki's are a good source of organization. You can plan things without delay and have everything neat.

There are a lot of different of differences and similarities. Some differences are that on a wiki you can coordinate ideas very quick between a group of people. A blog is just full of personal news. There is also a two way communication on blogs and wikis are between a group of people. On wikis you can edit everyones work and on a blog you can only comment on it.

The differnce between Blogs and Wikis, is that with Blogs, it's personal news, organized by posts, it is a collection of postss, there is similar interests, you can read, quote, and link it, you can gain small audiences, there is a two way communication between parties of people, and it is open for anyone to comment. Wikis on the other hand, coordinates ideas quickly instead of sending e-mails, you can change or edit the page when needed, you just have to edit, save, and link, and you can make it open to a small group of people.

There are alot of similarities between the two of these. They are both fast, easy, organized, and it's easy to post ideas down for others to view. The blogs and wiki's are an easy way of cumminication with others.

Both blogs and wiki's are a way of comunication. You can share idea's and information. Blogs are usually just personal opinions and wiki's are a way to share more professional information

Blogs - are a collection of posts that over time becomes an archive of information. Think of each post as a small news story you would hear on the news and then think about all of those stories on one page easy to access

Wikis - are the collaboration of two or more people providing eachother with proper information about anything they want. It could be a trip, a gathering, or even a simple lunch. You can change it accordingly every time you view the wiki.

I believe that blogs and wikis are alike. You can still read the what is on the sight. But blogs are seen more by people, wikis is open to a small group.

Both Wikis and Blogs are online information or data center. Wiki is faster then e-mails, it's open to a group if people, you can change and edit information and coordinate ideas quickly. Blog is an organized collection of posts, where you can post news, personal opinions, to a small number of people where you can converse between a 2 way conversation between a party of people, and it's oepn to anyone.

I think Wiki's and Blog's are the same thing, there really is no difference, some difference's would be that Wiki's have faster communication and you can edit the page.
Blog's and Wiki's are the same because the information is still getting out to the reader's and the reader's are still able to comment back. Blog's and Wiki's are both personal news or idea's that people want the reader's to read.
Blog's and Wiki's are both good for if your going on a vacation and you need instant communication to bring up any extra details that popup instead of phoning someone and disturbing them.

Wikis and blogs are two pretty different things. On a blog, you wirte out a comment on something that you would like to talk about and then you let people all around the world comment on what you had written down. You can then go on to the blog and comment on the last comment and this can go on forever. On a wiki, people can communicate more quickly then on a blob. This is good for communicating with people especially when planning a trip or an event.

On wikis and blogs there some similarities like any one can view it,it is about pesonal news and not many people on your blog community. There is some differences between blogs and wiki like on wikis any one can edit it and on blogs you comment and the person who is in charge of the blog has to verify it.

With wikis you can comment and edit them by yourself or with a group of people and with blogs you can only comment on them if the blog isnt yours. Both wikis and blogs are online and they both share information with other people
