Blogs can used for collaboration. According to one of the New York Times article, it stated that the Bay Ridge Neighborhood people talked about the house which there is people dealing with drug. people who lives in that neighborhood post their opinions and comments on the blogs.

Wiki can also be used as a travel guide which can be edit by people who travel so many places. People can be read it before they plan for a trip.
