The difference between Blogs and Wikis (for me)
I like to read Blogs. I never comment on them. Blogs feel more personal to me.
Since Blogs are chronological, I'm always getting the most recent updates at the top and I don't have to figure out what is new or what I've already read.
My Bloglines Reader lets me know at a glance when there are new postings.
You can subscribe to blogs...I don't think you can subscribe to wiki's unless you are a member...but I am not aware of wiki readers.
I don't think you can store documents on blogs.
I find Wiki's to be much more collaborative, and it is tempting everytime I visit one to edit/comment etc. Blogs usually have one "author", whereas Wiki's have many.
Wiki's are much more suitable for group work/collaboration. They can be much more organized than blogs...a table of contents for instance, rather than in order chronologically. The editing feature of wiki's, the opportunity to add widgits such as calendars, videos, etc. is advantageous. OOPS...I just noticed that you can add a video to this Blog.
Wiki's just seem more versatile to me.
I like the idea of daily "wiki gardening" to help maintain wiki's and keep them fresh.
All for now!
Bye dear readers!
