| Writers: | ||
| Many authors, various personalities & experiences, opinions face scrutiny of community or are listed as such. | Typically one author, one personality, one opinion. | |
| Knowledge comes from community of dozens or even thousands of topic experts. | Knowledge limited by single person. | |
| Content: | ||
| Growsrapidly at all hours of the day. | Grows slowly, one post at a time. | |
| Articles constantly change and continuosly updated. | Each post becomes stale over time. | |
| Discussions can take place on pages or in the discussion forum (at least in Wetpaint wikis). | Discussions take place in the comments of a post, typically approved by blogger. | |

To blog on my <a href="http://mojomojo.org">MojoMojo wiki</a>, I protect the page against editing by anyone other than me, then I add a Disqus comment widget. See an example at http://wiki.dandascalescu.com/howtos/catalyst/introduction_to_catalyst. This renders the <a href="http://wiki.dandascalescu.com/essays/difference_blog_wiki">difference between bogs and wikis</a> moot.
