Second Week MLA Web 2.0 Assignment

What is the difference between a blog and a wiki?
A blog is like a journal or news report where you add information as it happens and is displayed in reversed chronological order. A wiki is a website on a specific topic where many people can collaborate, post and edit the website.

What sort of things might be better suited for a blog and better suited for a wiki?
Some examples of blogs are about new movies in theatres, sports, new books or any topic that has new information that can be updated daily or weekly.
Some examples of wikis are websites about a certain topic such as a class (with assigments, readings), or instruction topics where many people can collaborate in adding information.
