In comparison of blog, Wiki contents are nowadays more restricted by its site managers. According to ''Wikipedia to Limit Changes to Articles on People'' by Noam Cohen. It mentions ''The new feature, called “flagged revisions,” will require that an experienced volunteer editor for Wikipedia sign off on any change made by the public before it can go live. Until the change is approved''. It is a sign that Wikipedia does not want to provide any false information to its readers. Therefore, some contents are reviewed and inspected before published. I believe Wiki can provide a customized forum for individuals to discuss about the contents of the website. Instead of merely giving out facts, people can also interact with one another select what they wish to know.

Blog vs. Wiki
Posting ones new ideas and preference about things we experienced in a daily basis can now be shared on a platform called the internet. Bloggers can share their point of views on items they purchased or matters regarding relationship, work, and school. Commenting on ones opinion had been a new way to connect with individuals with similar interests. According to an article ''Wal-Mart Testmakers Write Unfiltered Blogs'' by Micheal Barbaro. It says ''Instead of relying on polished high-level executives, it is written by little-known buyers, largely without editing''. Customers post a review on products they purchased from Wal-Mart. Comments are easier to comprehend by public and is also straight to a point on discussing the pros and cons of the products.

My purpose is to discover how it has gradually changed the way people used to interact with one another.
