Blogs are a way of people communicating what they are interested in, sharing with friends and family, or community, a page where it frequently updates with written posts. An example of a blog is “Wal-Mart’s Tastemakers”, article by Michael Barbaro from NY times. It encouraged workers to give real reviews on products, no matter how bad it is which encouraged consumers to buy from them more. Which they took seriously, to where they described a video’s games combatants as “new Nazis for the modern era”. Wiki is made for multiple users to work together to contribute on a project or subject, giving people the most balanced information. Such as with refences and links to articles that pertain to the content. The importance of convergence in today’s networked world is everyone has the ability to search up whatever they need to such as items that interest them to expanding their knowledge intellectually. Blogs can be used for collaborations by having a select amount of people work on it, each having an assigned duty to creating a community that has a common interest. Such as the article titled “Brooklyn Blog Helps Lead to Drug Raid”, by Michael Wilson from NY times. That goes on to how a blog united people in the community in Bay Ridge to rally support for getting rid of a crack house. Possibly wiki could be used for advertising, such as having a small advertisement on the bottom or corner of the screen while you’re using wiki. With a small close button, which would make the user click the advertisement at least two times or more.
