Wikis facilitate collaboration among community members, who are often a dedicated group of people fairly focused on the content. That's sounds a lot like a blog community too. So, what's the difference between the two? Why would I create a wiki rather than a blog? What the difference between a wiki and a blog?
Here's a neat video of a fictional debate between JFK and Nixon about wikis and blogs:

Yes, a wiki facilitates collaboration among community members like blogs. Plus, a wiki (like a blog) is a type of website that allows anyone who can basically use a word processor or send e-mail to develop or to edit content on a website, with no special tools or programming knowledge. However, wiki visitors are encouraged to edit content posted by other users and to create new pages to improve the content of the site. That's not usually allowed on a blog, except for a blog that is specifically set up for a group or team.
For more information about how you can use and create wikis, stay tuned to this blog. You may also visit the Wild About Wikis website. It's a wiki too!
