The major difference between a blog and a wiki is that a blog is more directly under the control of the owner(s) and the primary objective of a blog is for the owner(s) to express themselves to their target audience.

Note: As of mid 2002, many ‘warblogs’ are now less exclusively focused on military affairs, terrorism and the related politics and some have quietly stopped describing themselves as ‘warblogs’.
