Web 2.0--Week 2

What is the difference between a blog and a wiki? What sort of things might be better suited for a blog and better suited for a wiki? Write a brief response on your blog.

A blog is better suited as an online communication device much like a journal. It seems it is better suited to be updated by one person or one group of people. It is more of a one way communication tool, although you can add comments.

A wiki is better suited for online collaboration--more like an asynchronous meeting. All people can contribute as they see fit. The drawback could be setting the boundaries for the people contributing.
