Blogs vs Wiki


5/22

ComparisonBlogs (1990s) Wiki (2001)

Personal, corporate PR, etc Public, mostly by Government, Corporate

and Educational institutions.

Aim to establish identities online. Aim to verify the validity of information.

Journal Format with Automatic Push Collection of pages

Encourage comments on posts; the

absence of comments, a site is not really,

or not fully a blog (Quiggin, 2006) p.483

No requirements of membership, anyone

can edit.

Discourage Joint Composition by more

than one authors (standard setup)

Discourage authorship; encourage

facilitations by as many people as possible.

Splogs (spam blogs) Doesnt support strong intellectual

property policy framework, because its

not an individual effort, and nor is it awork for hire.

Initiate a conversation between authors

and readers in public view

With comments and trackbacks, blogs are

considered as collaborative productions

(Chesher, 2005) p.483

Quiggins Conclusion

Blogs and wiki are being used more in

business and education.

Instead of focusing on enforcing copyrightsand encouraging competitions, authorities

should make sure that co-orporation and

creativity are promoted towards increased

productivity.

New Media and its users


11/22

Flexible, Efficient, Instant, Free of cost, Free of

location, No boundaries.

Less on Individualism, more on collectivism. Blogs and wiki encourage joint contribution

and that enhances creativity.

Two-way communication, more personalized,more variety.


12/22

Print Publication VS Online Media

Blogs and wikis will soon displace mainstream

media. The triumphalist view (Hewitt, 2005)

Blog and wiki will allow dismissive responses of

the media establishment, and that aphorisms are

what nitpicking is to film criticism as blogging is

to journalism (Sutherland, 2005)

It will give more balanced and sophisticatedtreatment of blogs, wikis and other online media

forums. (Bruns, 2005)


13/22

Quiggins terms (2006)

Blogs and wikis are a direct replacement for

existing communication media.

It has creative commons which are driven bycreative motives (such as excellence, self-

expression, altruism and sheer enjoyment),

instead of monetary or organizational.

Its a common pool that enables users to

contribute freely.
