WIKI
A wiki website is one that allows anyone to make changes by adding or deleting text, images, etc. on  the site. 
The word is an abbreviation of the Hawaiian word: "wiki wiki", which means come quickly or hurry. 
 
One of the best known wiki sites is wikipedia. 
The good thing about wikis is that in theory those who know about a topic can easily share their knowledge with everyone; the down side is that there is often no way to tell if the information on a wiki site is valid.
 
BLOG
Short for Web log, a blog is like an online journal or diary.  Often they contain text, images, sound (podcasts) and video(vlogs). 
Blogs can be set up to allow anyone to edit or only a certain group. 
 
It is possible for anyone to make comments about the blog entries. 
 
If you find a blog that you really like you can subscribe to it. 
This means that every time it is updated you are told about the update through a special piece of software called an aggregator.
