list 3 differences between a blog and a wiki as well as 3 similarities.
A blog is an online diary where a person can express their feelings and thoughts about what they have experienced(Hazel,2013)
According to Cynthia Medina(2014)"A blog is website that allows an individual, or a group of individuals to share a running log of events and personal insights with online audience's"
Therefore, a blog is a website where people regularly report or discuss news about a subject, or about themselves
A wiki is a webpage that can be edited by anyone and individuals can add and change content(Hazel, 2013)
So, a wiki is a workspace that allows collaborative work of multiple users to edit, change and save content.
