Blog vs Wiki

Interesting post on combination of Blog and Wiki. Seems like a variant on presenting a structured arguement/discussion i.e. that somehow I want to collect, order, organize and present information in an only vaguely linear fashion. In the first instance I'd like to be able to do this for my reference only, ideally with a local copy on my pc and a synchronized web accessible. Some might want to 'publish' some/all of their information. Some software tackles this, such as The Brain... but it seems imperfect. Are there other solutions? HTML, text/word files, Visio, Inspiration, Endnote ... all have their specific uses ...

: Irate Scotsman - Blog Wiki Blog: "However, wikis are not blogs, and I don't think they're particularly well-suited to be hacked into being blogs (which is the main gist of the links from Andrew's WikiBlogIntegration page). Sure, they can be used as (or made into) blogs, but the question is whether or not it's a valid approach. The problem lies with the basic concept of a blog. A (modern) blog is:
Ordered (by the chronology of posts)
Temporaly aggregated (a page displays the 10 or so most recent posts at any time)
Dynamic (the pages change constantly, due to the temporal aggregation)
Categorised (most modern blogs strongly rely on the use of various categories for posts)
Contemporary (a blog's primary external value lies in its current posts, or current topics)
A blog is a time-stream of information, which inherently understands the concepts of past, present, updating, recency and progress.

By contrast, Wikis seem to be more about the timeless accretion of static data. To my mind, a wiki is:
Principally unordered (wikis only care in a very secondary way about the most recent edits; recency is not core to the concept of what a wiki is)
Logically aggregated (content is within a mass of related material)
Primarily static (each individual page mostly contains its own relevant content and nothing else)
Not intrinsically categorised (categorisation in wikis seems to be human-enforced; internally, all pages exist at the root level, with no subdivisions or priorities)
Timeless (wiki content is long-term; rarely is it associated with a single point in time)
So, if you're looking to combine static with dynamic content, do you start out with a blog or a wiki? It's a matter of what you specifically need to do. For examp"
