Difference between forum and blog

Forums and blog have their own significance.Forum is a junction where lots of peoples discuss and share their views and blog is a small website where a particular individual share his views and thoughts.

 

Forum: An Internet forum, or message board, is an online discussion site where people can hold conversations in the form of posted messages. Forums have a specific set of jargon associated with them; e.g. A single conversation is called a "thread"

Blog:A blog is a type of website or part of a website. Blogs are usually maintained by an individual with regular entries of commentary, descriptions of events, or other material such as graphics or video. Entries are commonly displayed in reverse-chronological order. Blog can also be used as a verb, meaning to maintain or add content to a blog. Most blogs are interactive, allowing visitors to leave comments and even message each other via widgets on the blogs and it is this interactivity that distinguishes them from other static websites

 

Forums are like social mixers, where everyone is at equal level, milling about and discussing with others. These many to many communication tools allow anyone to start a topic and anyone to respond to one. Members are often at equal level, and content is usually segmented by topic. (rather than by people).

Blogs are like a keynote speech where the speaker (blogger) is in control of the discussion, but allows questions and comments from the audience.
Blogs are journals often authored by one individual, and sometimes teams. In the context of business communication, these are often used to talk with the marketplace and to join the conversation that existing external bloggers may be having.

 

Just compare with your blog and digital point forum. I think after that, you will get your answer.

 

yeah you are right forums is a public place and blog is just your diary
