blogs vs wikis

Blogs are good for curent awareness where many need to share information from different sources that all may not be "watching."

A wiki on the other hand would be good for collaborative work where many people need to add input on a topic and maintain that input for all to see and for simple, easy modification as needed.

The difference to me is that a blog "rolls," ie each post is an addition and new thing. Whereas a wiki grows in complexity, information or a document is posted and other then modify and add to the information/document allowing the information to stay current and useful.
