Blogs and Wikis

What is a blog and what is a wiki? hmm. A blog is a personal sharing of information. One person can generate ideas and others can contribute comments on the orginal idea. A blog is one person communication to an outside world. A wiki is a gathering place of information. Many can contribute to a wiki in real time (the initial set-up of the wiki determines how open it is). A wiki is true sharing of information from many to many. Wikis can share live documents and can document how processes are done. They are handy for reference questions and commitee work. Wikis capture community knowledge.
