In today era it's really accesible find the information we want, not matter what it's about There's people who already did the dirty job and found it for us. We find all kind of data in the web the only thing that wee need to do it's choose from where we want the information.
Wikipedia is well known as the main sources for many people around the planet, I would say if you don't know the answer of something just look it at Wikipedia you will most probably find the information you were looking for. Wikipedia allow people from all the world to edit and contributed with a topic from the page it's for this reason we can find almost everything, in other words it's a work that gets done in collaboration with a lot of people adding, editing and reviewing the page.
We can find different kinds of blogs, blogs dedicated to talk about sport, fashions, games, entertainment politics etc.. It's basically someone talking about a specific or various topics adding image and having the possibility of editing the way of how the blog looks like.
The main difference between a blog and wikipedia is that wikipedia is a connected work a lot of people is constantly working in a topic on other hand a blog tends to be more personal and it usually belong to one person or company nobody have access to them unless you provided them with the credentials to log in. Both have great importance in todays people live because when someone wants to know more about a topic they usually read the new data that they didn't know from these two websites.
There's articles who support or are against the uses of wikipedia such as In "A Rorschach Cheat Sheet on Wikipedia" by Noham Cohen he says "For them, the Wikipedia page is the equivalent of posting an answer sheet to next year’s SAT" this a debate and thought that many people have. For them wikipedia does not allow people to grow limiting them to just copy and paste what they found without even have a formal criterion, this is the main cons against wikipedia and what it does. On other hand in " Wikipedia to Limit Changes to Articles on People" by Noham Cohen he stated "60 million Americans visit Wikipedia every month. It is the first reference point for many Web inquiries — not least because its pages often lead the search results on Google, Yahoo and Bing." this being the main advantage of wikipedia, this website is consider as the main source of information for many people even the most famous search tool base its search on this website. I would sate everything has a cons and pos and it depends of how we use it. Wikipedia is a great tool that can help us to know more a bout a topic but we always decide at the end what to put in our blogs and paper base in our criterion.
One new use that wikipedia could add in a near future it could be a sign which allows users to know that the following information is totally legitimate and veridical such a way that it would be impossible modify unless wikipedia accept you request with prove documents or evidence.
