I see here a key difference in this discussion. One is the open wiki like Wikipedia. The other is a corporate blog or wiki. The implementation is similar, but inside a company, the wiki contains information from trusted sources about *your* project.
It provides a forum and a structure to communicate and share information as a team. And in fact, there are many companies who are providing wiki and blog structure for companies to work in a structured collaborative environment outside of the open source options.
