Wikis and Wikipedia
 |

A wiki
is an easily editable webpage or set of webpages. By easily
editable, we mean they can be not only viewed, but also modified. So
you can add or remove text or paragraphs to the webpage.
These characteristics make Wikis a Collaborative authoring tool.

Blogs |
|
In simple terms, a
blog is a Website, where you write stuff on an ongoing basis. New
stuff shows up at the top, so your visitors can read what's new.
Then they comment on it or link to it or email you. Or not.
A blog gives you your own voice on the Web. It's a place to collect
and share things that you find interesting— whether it's your
political commentary, a personal diary, or links to Websites you
want to remember.
