Blog v Wiki

Blogs are usually personal while Wikis are collaborative.

Convergence is important in today's networked world because it allows more than one person to contribute their knowledge on a topic. In the article "How To Use Wikis For Business", it states "Wikis are designed to facilitate the exchange of information within and between teams."

Blogs can be used for collaboration just like Wikis. In the article, "What motivates Wikipedians?", Nov mentions Wikipedia is a prominent example of a collaborative user generated content outlet based on the open source model, and a promising model for knowledge sharing". With that being said, more than one person can post on a specific blog making it collaborative.

As of right now, I'm still thinking of a new use for Wiki.

Next New

A new media that doesn't exist yet.. maybe McGraw Hill Connect mobile app.. that actually works. Currently the McGraw Hill Connect mobile app doesn't allow students to read or do assignments on their phone. As a student, I'm always on the go and sometimes when your traveling you find opportunities where you can read or answer a few homework questions to keep busy. Their current app does nothing.

Privacy

New media such as Facebook and Instagram have privacy and confidentiality issues. These issues arise when people post too much information about themselves or post an inappropriate photo. People think the delete button will save them but a lot of information can still be surfacing on the web. Having a private account really won't help considering that anyone who is following you on Instagram or friends with you on Facebook can just save and repost your info or pic somewhere else. To avoid issues, people simply need to know what's too much to share and what's just right.
