Blogs vs. Wikis

I found this chart online which gives an idea of the difference between Blogs and Wikis (http://scilib3.pbwiki.com/Blogs+vs+Wikis):

Blogs	Wikis
E-Mail	Shared Folder
Communication	Collaboration
Newsletter	Encyclopedia
Process	Product
Chronological	Versioning/History
Ongoing	Work in Progress
PUBLIC....private	public....PRIVATE

Wikis as Blogs can both have a public or private domain, but wikis tend to be more of an encyclopedia, as the above chart would mention. Wikis are public but have the ability for anyone who has access to the wiki to change anything on the wiki. Blogs tend to be public and little change can be done to the blog, only by the publisher. Blogs tend to have a more journalistic style to its appearance and is mostly used to inform the reader one's personal opinion on a certain topic. Wikis tend to have a more informative style in which wikis provide information as correct as possible to the readers and can be used in group projects when it comes down to a classroom setting.
