A blog is very similar to a journal or diary that is kept on a website, that is not subject to change. People are able to post new blogs, comment on existing blogs and read existing blogs that have been posted by others. There are many professionally written blogs that can be seen at MSNBC, Slate, The Washington Post and the Christian Science Monitor, the Seattle Tiems - almost anywhere Big Media produces online news. In addition media have enticed bloggers to transition from amateur to professional, for example, Mickey Kaus, who inspired Marshall to start his blog, now writes for MSN’s Slate [1]. This shows the rapid emergence and growth of blogs and also that anybody, not only professionals have the ability to start one.
A wiki is a web application that allows users to add content, as on an Internet forum, but also allows anyone to edit the content, unlike a blog. An example of a very popular wiki is "wikipedia", which is a collaborative online encyclopedia that is used daily by almost every internet user.
