Forums,Wikis,Blogs三者之異同

David Warlick 在When do I Blog? 中解釋Forums, Wikis, Blogs(podcasts) 三者之間有何差異

Forums: are a tool that allows people to share and respond to ideas. the goal is to build knowledge through a cross-pollination of ideas.

Wikis: are used to publish. However, a wiki site is usually intended for a closed community of people where layout and formality are not crucial. Like forums, the goal is to build knowledge through collaboration. But the knowledge is organized more like a web site, so that it is available for retrieval when needed.

Blogs(podcasts): are more about publishing. Although there is a collaborative component, the intent is not discussion, but the publication of one person’s (or small group’s) ideas.
