A blog is a place where someone can share their opinion on subjects. People also go there to share information. Whether its advice, wanting to share recipes or just letting off steam. It seems to me that a blog is like a meeting room for discussions. All opinions are welcomed.

            A wiki is a site which allows entry from users using their own web browser. Wikis run wiki software which makes it possible for entry. Wikis can grow vey fast due to a lot of fast entries.
            I found really easy to edit wiki information. It is easy to do when you have an account. The good thing about that is anyone who has good, solid, contributing information can edit a page. In that case, the information caused and taken for what it is worth. The bad thing is that anyone can edit the information and input incorrect information. Some of things I look up on wiki sites, I can tell if the information given is somewhat accurate. Some of the cons of using wiki are that the info may not be correct. Since anyone can edit it, it has a risk of containing false or misleading information (although this has been argued). In some cases I've found information to be sparse on some subjects.

In conclusion, if I were to write a research paper wiki would not be my first choice as a resource because of the possibility of misinformation. Personally, unless the information is proven to the extent of providing solid references, then I would not utilize this website. Before this assignment, I really did not realize that just about anyone was able to edit information on this site. So therefore after I completed the assignment, I find wiki to be an unreliable and an inconsistent source of research.
