[edit] Blogs:
A blog (an abridgment of the term web log) is a website, usually maintained by an individual, with regular entries of commentary, descriptions of events, or other material such as graphics or video. Entries are commonly displayed in reverse chronological order. "Blog" can also be used as a verb, meaning to maintain or add content to a blog.
Many blogs provide commentary or news on a particular subject; others function as more personal online diaries. A typical blog combines text, images, and links to other blogs, web pages, and other media related to its topic. The ability for readers to leave comments in an interactive format is an important part of many blogs. Most blogs are primarily textual, although some focus on art (artlog), photographs (photoblog), sketchblog, videos (vlog), music (MP3 blog), audio (podcasting) are part of a wider network of social media. Micro-blogging is another type of blogging which consists of blogs with very short posts. As of December 2007, blog search engine Technorati was tracking more than 112 million blogs.[1]

1. What is Wiki?

Source Notes:
What is Wiki ? A wiki is a website that its community of readers can edit! See Wikipedia's article on wikis for more information. Wikis are a type of groupware, software to mediate interpersonal collaboration electronically. Interest in wikis has been growing exponentially.
Why we use a wiki? By integrating the ability to write as well as read, the level of skill required to edit a wiki-style website is dramatically reduced, at modest cost in design flexibility.
By socially respecting (or cybernetically enforcing?) addtional protocol, wiki pages can be "subclassed" (i.e. specialized) to reproduce older groupware modalities - like the traditional bulletin-board (consisting of a series of time-ordered inalterable contributions from multiple authors), today called a group [We]blog.
Unrestricted wiki custom is good for the collective creation of "encyclopedic" content - stuff on which there is likely to be broad ultimate agreement by the community of joint authors. Bulletin boards are a better groupware form when the purpose is the frank debate of potentially discordant points on view and there is little which all parties agree is objectively true they can publish jointly.
