Blogs VS. Wikis

    Blogs and Wikis are the webpages that we use to share our ideas and views. They both are convenient. We just need an account, log into it using electronic devices or computers , and then we post information. However, they have their own special features: blogs usually have one author. Sometimes, maybe two people own a blog account . Many people use personal blogs to share their experiences, feelings and views on some events. Some experts share their knowledge using blogs. Some neighborhood have their blogs to get informed of what happened around them. As the article called Brooklyn Blog Helps Lead to Drug Raid mentioned, neighbors reported the suspicious activities around them. Blogs can spread information. However, because only a few people can access to a certain blog, some information may delayed. Wikis is a  different webpage. All the people in the same team can edit the information on the wiki, so information can be organized and updated promptly. As the article called How to Use Wikis for Business stated, " Wikis are designed to facilitate the exchange of information within and between teams".Wikis is good for work team or a study group. Team members can get the most updated information. However, some wrong information may spread out, if a team member put up wrong information. For example, we know Wikipedia. Everyone can contribute information to it. If the information is not authentic, readers will receive wrong information.
