BLOGS vs. WIKIS

First, I would like to mention that I have experienced blogs for the first time in this CIS class. I never post anything on Wikis, so it means that I am not really familiar with them. However, blogs are for everyday use, anybody can set up for a blog and post any opinions or feelings towards their interests. They are easy to be operated. You can change your articles that were written before, also you can change lay out of the web site or insert pictures or videos. There is no one but you who would edit or erase anything from your blogs.

Wikis have their manager (supervisor) who filters informations that are posted by any users who have an access to the internet. I think that Wikis are more advanced in searching for the facts of your research. I have looked at the Wikipedia so many times when I was doing any school projects. It wouldn’t be possible on blogs as much as on Wikis because blogs are more likely to be subjective. For instance, this particular situation happens this way in my eye, so it is not the true story, it is just my feeling towards it. It is pretty normal to write a story like that on your blog, but on Wikis, there are managed to help to search for facts, not opinions.
Both Blogs and Wikis are great to collaborate and convergence with others. It is very simple to stay connected with people who have the same interests or just like to share funny stories. There are many reasons why people have their blogs. One reason can be just to pool pictures or songs or they want others to know what their thoughts are.

There is a web site that shows differences between blogs and Wikis in a simple way.
