| 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. | |
