Blog / Wikki

Blog

In my opnion, blog is like a personal page or website.It could be used to share information about college,personal life,employer or any thing.You can arrange your page as the way you like.It is a tool for communicating your friends and realtives. You can set the setting as you prefer.The main purpose is to provide readers information about your self.The blog is controled by you and no one can edit your information.People can write comments about posts,images or videos.Moreover, it is also like a notebook which has pages (posts) and people enter more and more stuff in it.

Wikki

Wikki on the other hand might look like a sister to blog.Wikkis are basically controled by the moderator.For example wikipedia users can write or edit information but there are people who add more information and they are offical moderators from wikipedia.People are not welcome to comment on wikkis.Although , we might see some some new sort of wikis coming out with the option of people making comments on them.Wikis main purpose is to educate and provide information to its readers.Some people claim that info on wikis are inaccurate but in my opnion wikis are doing an important role providing us useful information.

New use for a wiki

Adding a like mini wikki on websites so that it can inform us about the websites.For example, there are websites which we hit and we normally are unaware of it.We have to goto help or feedback or some other sections to find out what the website is for.Having a mini wikki providing us some information about the website on right side of the websites front page can be useful for new browsers.
