Blogs vs. Wikis

I tried using both a wiki and blog since its inception. I've noticed that they both serve a specific purpose. With Blogs you are able to voice your opinion without any editing by other users on the page. Even when you make errors to your post, your mistakes are made for the world to see without the ability of the post to be edited by a fellow visitor.  This is noted in the article "Stung by the Perfect Sting," By Maureen Dowd, The NY Times, Aug 25, 2009.

On the other hand with Wiki's it clearly understood that when a mistake is made by a contributor anyone on the wikipage is capable of editing this page. Seeing how this process works, this new media could have the most impact in the Management of Businesses. Having to create processes, editing policy and procedures or even having a virtual meeting on the wiki could potentially have significant benefits to the business.

notes "In the corporate environment, wikis are best implemented behind a firewall for a wholly internal user base."
