Most blogs are interactive, allowing visitors to leave comments and even message each other via widgets on the blogs and it is this interactivity that distinguishes them from other static websites.

Such is the case of the collaborative encyclopedia Wikipedia.] In contrast, open purpose wikis accept content without firm rules as to how the content should be organized.

• A wiki invites all users to edit any page or to create new pages within the wiki Web site, using only a plain-vanilla Web browser without any extra add-ons.

• Wiki promotes meaningful topic associations between different pages by making page link creation almost spontaneously easy and showing whether an intended target page exists or not.
