Wiki's

I have been using Wiki's for about two years. I will share my Wiki's in my next post. This has been a good lesson to distinguish between a Wiki and a Blog. I wanted to find more answers and this is what I found:

I discovered: http://wiki.wetpaint.com/page/Wiki+vs+Blog?t=anon
and it went over the differences and similarities.

Wiki: A collaborative website which can be directly edited by anyone with access to it. Many authors, various personalities & experiences, opinions face scrutiny of community or are listed as such. Knowledge comes from community of dozens or even thousands of topic experts. Grows rapidly at all hours of the day. Articles constantly change and continuosly updated. Discussions can take place on pages or in the discussion forum (at least in Wetpaint wikis).

Blog: A personal or corporate website in the form of an online journal, with new entries appearing in sequence as they are written. Typically one author, one personality, one opinion. Knowledge limited by single person. Grows slowly, one post at a time. Each post becomes stale over time. Discussions take place in the comments of a post, typically approved by blogger.

I think I feel more comfortable in the Wiki environment, because of the kind of work I do.
