Blogs Vs. Wikis: How Are They Similar?

My research paper topic is on blogs and wikis and how they are similar. I come across what the two are and how they differ in many ways. They also have many similarities between them. A blog from my point of view is like a diary entry on a webpage. However, many others can view and comment on what you write. You usually write about topics of your interest and just give information about it and your view of it. I did not know much about wikis and so I looked it up. They are said to be information on a website that it read and edited by any of the people who can view it. This is also an entry of information on a topic, but it can be a bunch of peoples' view instead of just one. Blogs usually have one author with people who comment. The author communicates their thoughts to a bunch of people. Wikis are multiple authors who constantly can change the text. It is a way of communication between a wide group of people. The two might be different, but they have many similarities. They are both used as a way of communication between people. With a blog you can communicate through the comments, and with the wikis you communicate throughout the texts. Anyone can view either of these two websites. They are also a way that people can express themselves. For the most part both wikis and blogs could be based on the writers opinions. Blogs and Wikis are both similar through communication and the way that people can express their ideas to each other.
