How is a Wiki Like a Weblog?
Although the name makes me think of something I'd pick up at the bakery with a coffee (“I'd like a raspberry bliki and a large coffee, double-milk”), the concept of blikis I find very interesting and I think these hold great potential, more than straight blogs or wikis for business collaboration use. I'm going to watch this closely as this new variant gets some legs.
Recently I wrote about the concept of the bliki, which combines characteristics of weblogs and wikis.Along this theme, the weblog Hunting the Muse recently pondered what, exactly, weblogs and wikis have in common, and how they might best be combined in a practical way. Check out Weblogs, Wikis, and Comments.
Also, see Robin Good's recent weblog entry about blikis: After The Blog Is Gone: SnipSnap Plays Bliki. It's a bit more technical than the first article, but not too difficult – and it's definitely stuff you'll want to understand if you want to explore the emerging bliki world.
SEE A BLIKI IN ACTION: Martin Fowler's Fowler's Bliki. The topic it covers is fairly technical (software development), but look at it for how it gets used – and read his intention for this project. It's an intriguing format.
