Although a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blog '''blog'''] is a website that promote a knowledge of collaborative sharing, a blog is very much different from a wiki. A blog is an online webpage that is written from the perspective of one person. The blog owner is able to create a post or a discussion about a particular subject. As readers have the opportunity to comment on a specific subject, the blog owner is able to reply to their readers. A blog owner is the only person who can make changes to the web site. <ref>Cheng,GaryChau, Juliana. "International Journal of Instructional Media" 38, 2011, p 71. Computer source. Web 8. Nov. 2013</ref> For the most part, blogs can be one whole site or it can be embedded into an existing site. | Although a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blog '''blog'''] is a website that promote a knowledge of collaborative sharing, a blog is very much different from a wiki.

On the other hand, a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wiki '''wiki'''] is not a social media website, but it is a reference website that defines terms that people don't know. <ref>Myers, Greg. Discourse of Blogs and Wikis. London. Continuum, 2012. eBook collection (Ebscohost). Web 8 Nov. 2013. p 23.</ref> A person can randomly write, change, or delete an article about a particular subject. In order to make the website work, it relies on the community to recognize each other's work by agreeing or disagreeing with each other. | On the other hand, a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wiki '''wiki'''] is not a social media website, but it is a reference website that defines terms that people don't know. <ref>Myers, Greg.
