A blog puts one person at its center, the author. A blog can be a electronic diary, a place to critique things, or even a place to practice journalism. The idea behind a blog is that the author has control of the content, and the author has control over who reads it, by either creating public or private settings. In general, blogs are controlled or managed by one person, and may take reader feedback by way of comments or feedback on surveys etc. While more sophisticated blogs can be arranged in a variety of ways, blog entries generally appear sequentionally.
The wiki can also be centered around one author, who has control of the content and security settings. The author may use the wiki to arrange information on different pages and folders. When compared to a blog, wikis create more choices for organizing content. In addition wikis are more collaborative then blogs, generally having multiple authors and the general philopsohy that information will constantly improve, because of this collaborative effort.

I wish I'd read this before I wasted my time posting my own response. This one captures the flavor of blogs and wikis far better.
