BLOG V WIKI
Blogs and Wiki's are both ways in which you can connect with others in a creative space. Blogs are able to connect with others through comments while using a wiki the user can directly edit the content. With a blog the creator is able to control the control the information that is being put out but with a wiki anybody can edit information so it is more susceptible to people adding inappropriate content on a certain topic. In the article " Wikipedia to limit changes to articles on people" by naom cohen it discussed a new policy of Wikipedia changing the way people are allowed to contribute. In this new policy it would require an experienced volunteer editor to sign off on certain revisions before it is made available to the public. But blogs can also be subject to inappropriate content for example In the article "stung by a perfect sting" by Maureen Dowd she talks about how a model sued google to give up the name of the anonymous blogger who kept calling her derogatory names on there blog and ended up winning the lawsuit. A new use for wiki that has not been done would be a wiki for food. Different chefs would be able to collaborate on a specific recipe and see what ingredients works and what doesn't.

I also read Naom Cohen's article on Wikipedia. It made me feel more trusting about it because I have heard that I should not trust Wikipedia too much since anyone can edit it and they may post incorrect information. I have never edited a Wikipedia page, so I do not know how the processs to edit one starts or what is required. After reading the article, I felt more sure about using the site since I now know that there are people who are in charge of maintaining the site accurate. Additionally, I think that your idea of a recipe wiki would be great especially for young people learning how to cook.
