I think the answer to both questions is more a matter of defining the

literature of the result than it is the tools that are used to get

there: just as there are novels, novellas, poetry, free verse and

other forms of expression, I would suggest the definition might be:

Weblog: documents on the web, organized by default in reverse

chronological order, written as a single opinionated voice as a

journal

Wiki: documents on the web, organized by default into a

self-referential web, written as an impersonal, factual voice as a

reference.

YMMV, of course.
