Here's a nice little quote that makes sense to me:
"Blogs and wikis strike me as polar opposites in terms of whom they work for. Blogs are for people who have something to say and want a place to say it, separate from other conversations. Wikis are for people who wish to contribute behind the scenes, building something organically. Both are great media; I find it interesting that they are so different in terms of the flavor of the contribution. Both permit, well, larger conversations; a blog is far less ephemeral than one's contributions on an email discussion group, and wikis accrete content with each modification. And both allow the reader to put the content in context."

That said, I'm using this blog as a paperless place to file thoughts and ideas I want to be able to locate when I need them.
