Blog v Wiki

-
Blogs are generally more subjective and are written from the authors perspective. The content that is usually shared on it is personal, verses Wikis that are a more formal version of a blog where everyone can edit it and add content to it. Therefore, both the information we get from Blogs and from Wikis is subjective and we don't know how reliable it is. These days Wikis can be more relevant because the information we have on almost any subject in the world is constantly changing and being able to edit that information helps keep it updated and relevant, for example- Wikipedia.  It is easy to collaborate with other people both using blogs and wikis because people can get involved, comment on posts, and contribute to the content. The same way that happened in Brooklyn where people from Bay ridge were writing something about that house and people that were involved and eventually helped the cops to build a case in this situation (Wilson).

Facebook also enable us to keep up with our friend's lives through their wall, they can share pictures, videos and posts there on a daily basis. Instagram is the second most used social media platform by me. I feel like Instagram is meant for sharing mostly pictures...

Blog social networking  Social media enables every person to share content with billions of potential viewers and the power and the potential of it is huge. The ability to spread information has become so much easier since social media's development. This is one of the major benefits of social media. In recent years, people have built a career and making a lot of money through social media only. The enormous amounts of content that is available online can sometimes be overwhelming. Since everything is so easy to spread, there is a lot of information online and in order to sell or for your content to be viewed the most you need to make your content remarkable. With that being said, social media also has another side, which is less pleasant. For example, we can learn from Randi Zuckerberg's case, when someone shared a picture she shared on Facebook to another social media platform. It is hard to stay private these days and Randi's claim, in this case, was that she wante...
