Blogs and Wikis are prime examples of New Media and Web 2.0. Many people can come together and collaborate on topics that interest them. Both of them are widely popular and widely used. These two relies on collaborators to work together and provide a place for people with similar interests to come share their views, exchange information, and comment on each other. Examples of blogs are blogger and livejournal, and examples of wikis are wikipedia and wikis.
However these two things have their differences. Blogs is considered an online journal that people can read online. It can public or private, depending on the author's settings. Also, only the author (and maybe some collaborators) can edit the post, while all of the other users can leave comments on the post. Wiki's however, is a public database that is accessible to everyone, almost without limits. Anyone can create and edit inside wikis as they choose, and they can sign up to make themselves identifiable. There is a lot of freedom in wiki and it is easy to use too.
