A Wiki is a website such as Wikipedia or Wikispaces that allows user's to add, remove and even edit the information on the page in a collaborative manner for all to see providing the page is public and isnt protected, I signed up with Wikispaces.
A Blog is a type of online journal either focusing on one subject or based on a wide range of subject's, the blogger can choose to add, remove or edit existing posts, other bloggers can subscribe to other's, I signed up with Blogger.
Design - Both Blogger and Wikispaces are designed well, both look very plain and simple and don't have alot of detail to them, however both are easy to use.
Usability - Blogs and Wikis are both fairly easy to use, its easy to find your way around on both.
Navigation - Blogs and Wiki are really easy to navigate. It's simply laid out and easy to navigate from page to page on both.
Collaboration - Both sites are easy to collaborate on but Wikis are alot better, Wiki's are usually bigger and have alot more activity, Wikis also give the user more editing capabilities, its easier to connect with other users on a blog though.
Links - The links are easy to follow on both websites, they're all in clear view wether it be links to other blogs by the same user or links to another website.
Quality of Information - Both websites have good and helpful information available.
Use of Multimedia - Both Wiki and Blogs allow users to upload videos or images, uploading videos is easy, you do this by clicking on the add a video icon and then copy & paste in the embedding code for the video you want to upload.
Topicality - Information isn't always accurate or relevant on either due to the editing powers everyday users have but you can always find what your looking for.
