Blog vs Wiki

Wooster define wiki as "A wiki is a website that allows multiple users to create, modify and organize web page content in a collaborative manner," and blog as "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".

Blogs and wikis are websites which allow people to share information and collaborate to produce new content. The main difference between blogs and wikis is the way of collaboration. While wikis allow visitors to edit the previous post such as adding or deleting information, blogs only allow visitors to make comments on the previous post.

I like how in the article Toolkit for a Networked World explains what the networked world is. "After just ten years, Facebook signed up its one billionth user. "After just five years, Uber vehicles exceeded yellow taxis in New York City. After just twenty-four hours, Apple’s ResearchKit had signed up more participants for research studies than 50 combined medical centers previously were able to over an entire year." This is the networked world of the 21st century, and it is just getting started. Today’s networked world is helpful because it allows sharing individuals' information such as opinions and ideas. Blogs and wikis are getting more useful because you can find almost everything in this kind of websites because editors are regular people who share the different knowledge that they have. If you need a recipe, you might be able to find it in someone's blog.
