BLOG VS WIKI

 The differences between a Blog vs a Wiki is how users approach the way of using them. For instance, in a blog, users cans write a post about a certain topic and other users can contribute to the post and develop it more with their own opinions is more of a free write, so users feel they have more control over what they say, where as in a wiki, it is more of a collaborative approach between people where they can add, develop, and edit content but in a more professional manner. For example, companies use Wikis in order to transmit information which was stated in the article "How To Use Wiki for Business" and they way a blog was used in "Brooklyn Blog Helps Lead to Drug Raid", which was a neighborhood blog where neighbors within the area were able to make posts about that topic. Although both have their differences, the common ground that they have is, it gives users the ability to contribute their thoughts and knowledge. I believe blogs can be used for collaboration by a group of users helping each other to transmit information particular to a topic, or be used in a classroom setting just like we are using it. I feel wiki's should add more of on contact devices such as videos that way there can be a well diverse way of users gaining information. Convergence is really important in todays network due to how the internet is being used around the world. Millions of people use the internet to not only gain knowledge, but to also spread it through a network that can be reached by a copious amount of people.
