Thing 22

In your blog post be sure to include the link to your wiki. Then discuss your feelings about using a wiki. How does a wiki differ from a blog? When is one more appropriate to use than the other?


My new wiki can be found at:  https://apmspanthers.wikispaces.com/


I really like how a wiki can bring several of the web 2.0 tools together in one place.  I think the greatest challenge to all of this wonderful new stuff is having all the different sites to navigate and manage.  Again, if it one stop shopping, I will be more inclined to go there and use the tools.  It seems like a wiki can pretty much bring it all together once you do some legwork with the other tools.  The difference between a blog and a wiki can be somewhat subtle.  It seems to me a blog is a little more personable in terms of voice and audience.  A wiki feels like a much more collaborative tool that encourages many people to participate.  Both have a distinctive place in Web 2.0.  Blogs are very powerful in two way communication on a specific topic.  The author has a strong voice in the process.  A wiki would be more desirable in setting a collaborative tone that encourages everyone to participate equally.
