Blogs as subsets of wikis

I was emailing a new colleague, Luke, and his post about Northern Voice jarred my memory about the Hacktastic Wiki Blogging session he facilitated at the conference. He said:

"I liked the comment from the woman that said something to the effect of: "It seems like blogs are a subset of wikis. So why don't we just use wikis all the time?" Good question."

I never thought about this before the conference, but now it seems there is a convergence between the convenience of blogs (that have definite limitations) and the robustness of wikis. 

Hmmm. blog + wiki = bliki? I wonder if this is where Movable Type and WordPress will be heading, as the wiki applications are most certainly heading there now.
