Blogs vs. Wikis

Blogs are a form of new media which acts as journal or diaries that can be produced over the web. People spew their ideas of various topics through blogs, where then others can view their thoughts post comments on a persons thoughts. They serve as an outlet to be expressive. Blogs are seemingly fading due to the sudden uprise of social networks like FaceBook and twitter. Wikis allows for the creation and editing of vairous interlinked web pages through the web. It uses markup lanuage to allow people to calloborate on different works. The most popular wiki forum is Wikipedia, which allows people to colloborate and produce information on many different topics and theories. The importance of both allows people to share information and colloborate with one another. It allows poeple to come togther and express ideas on certain topics and views, and problems that may be solved. A great way to ttake advantage of wikis is producing a website in which people can colloborate to solve polical issues in the country and use the wikis to help solve the problem.
