Blog and Wiki are two two information tools that are being used in the new media era.
Wiki is a collection of pages, These pages are connected by hyperlinks. Anyone one can contribute and edit a wiki page. Therefore Wiki information can not be reliable sometimes. Unlike Wiki Blogs are more personalized to its creator. I read an interesting story how Tony Pagliarulo used Wiki in a way such as we use GitHub for coding nowadays. The article "More on how to build your own wiki" showed us how successful was Tony Pagliarulo,VP of application development with information technology vendor EMC. Tony Pagliarulo used wiki with his team to share live and up to date information to complete a project successfully in a short period of time. It also states "Because his team had the most current information, they were able to make better decisions and get the project done faster.
And Pagliarulo has used wikis to manage IT projects at EMC ever since.".
Blogs can be used for many things such as making announcements or "diary" but blogs are mostly used now for online journalism. The article Yahoo's Next Problem: Tumblr's Traffic Isn't Growing"discussed how people are enjoying a blog named Tumblr it states how people enjoys "funny gifs and memes, inspirational photos and videos — that’s popular on Tumblr.". blogs can be used for collaboration in many ways such as teachers in school making announcements to students or a sport who might want to announce new rules players must follow to apply for joining the team.
