Blogs and wikis are online collaboration tools that have various business and education uses. Blogs are frequently updated websites that allow individuals to share information in a personal tone. Wikis enable collaborative editing and sharing of information across multiple pages in a more objective tone. As technologies like blogs and wikis became easier to use with little technical knowledge required, interest grew from teachers, educational institutions, and businesses. These tools are now seen as part of the shift to more collaborative and social uses of the web, and will likely continue to be adopted for more communication and collaboration purposes going forward.
