7. HOW IS IT DIFFERENT FROM A BLOG:
A blog tends to reflect the opinions of an author, while wiki is more open
to the users or subscribers.
In blog the entries are displayed in reverse chronological order.
The blog valued the latest empherical headlines and instant reactions
from commentators, where as wiki values the permanent knowledge
although wiki entries could be edited and improved over and over.
In a blog the content posted by the user or author can not be edited it can
only be commented. In wiki the content posted can be edited improved
and commented.
Shortly a blog is for latest news and wiki is for content that may be old but
still good.
