Forums vs Blogs

Hi,

A discussion forum
So, what are the differences between Forums and Blogs then..
Well, forums are much more of a collaboration and rely on many people to share information for it to become useful, and a blog is a much more personal thing where the main content is created by the individual to which others can respond to.

Forums are especially useful for finding out things or getting help from others or just random chat due to it's discussion type format and blogs are ideal for sharing personal opinions or experiences with others.
Forums can be split up into different topic areas which people can participate in, and blogs are typically about one persons particular interest or experiences.

Chow!
