Blogs v Wikis

Blogs and wikis are very similar in many ways. They both use web pages and web applications to get information to the web. Also, they require no knowledge of HTML and allow users for immediate publishing of content. However, they have several different systems in editing and posting by users.

For Wikis, multiple authors can edit the information or add new pages based on sharing their knowledge and expressing group thoughts. Moreover, the page they create can be linked to other wiki pages as well. So Wikis are usually used for collaboration based projects.
In contrast, for Blogs, single author posts contents chronologically and other bloggers comment on and response to the posts to share their opinion. Therefore, we can tell that the posts one single author creates can be linked to outside users.


In modern society, convergence has become very important role since various people work together as a group in today’s networked world. The group members can share their ideas and leave comments on the members’ opinion so they can improve and complete their projects efficiently and effectively by using blogs and wikis.
