Bliki: A Blog with Wiki support
THIS WEEK we will examine the features of the emerging technology, bliki, which is a combination of the two popular web technologies, blogs and wiki.
A weblog helps its author publish on the web his thoughts, comments on articles published elsewhere with links/comments and the like. As the whole content gets organised in a chronological order — latest stuff on top, next the second latest and the like — it is also called an online diary. But one drawback of the weblog technology is that it has no mechanism that enables a weblog reader to actively participate in the weblog discussions.
