Blogs vs Wikis

Communication techniques have changed over time. The way we send message have change and the reason why has to be blame on wikis and blogs. Even though both might see the same the way communication is develop and transfer is totally different. A blog is usually  people  leaving comments about themselves from a user name. One well known blog is Grind Hustler where people can go and leave comments about anything in or effecting hip hop. Unlike blogs that is a one person thing wiki is something that more than one person can contribute to. Its been around for a long time but "just starting to take off". Wiki makes communication easier and is much  more efficient. Once having to read email after email to get the understanding of a topic wiki allows many to write what there what at once where someone can read all at once. Wiki is a better tool for companies where it allows everyone to know whats going on at once and what is expected of them. Also is going for planning and event since its available to everyone.
 Since it new and in its  transforming stage wiki needs to be available on cellphones. Being easier to get access on cellphones would allow more people to use it and contribute to it. Just like email is at your finger tip so should be the application for wiki. Also another thing is allowing the person in charge of the wiki should have a notification of new posting to make sure what is written is actually accurate.
