Difference between blogs and wikis

A personal blog is essentially an online journal, except that others are free to comment on your thoughts and ideas. Organizational blogs, like our library news blog, offer a quick and easy way to promote library services.

A wiki is a collaborative web site, which only has value when there is a dedicated community of users who are willing to contribute and participate. A wiki should grow more robust and useful over time. My favorite example of a robust wiki is the EBM Librarian. I've used the EBM wiki many times and have made contributions myself
