Blogs v wikis

A blog as stated in the reading "How can we measure the influence of blogosphere" is a website with multiple characteristics.

But what sets apart a blog from a wiki is the contributions, the author of a blog is the only person who can edit whereas a wiki many people can add to it.

There are even groups that allow you to interact with people in the field you want to be in to help you network and find jobs. Funny how you can actually do stuff that is more then watch cat videos on Facebook and actually use this to your advantage.
