I'm a bit confused about the different kinds of bread. What is the difference between a ciabatta and a baguette?

A ciabatta is a rustic Italian style bread that is usually baked in a long loaf shape, with a crisp crust and soft crumb. It is typically served sliced and toasted. A baguette is a French-style long, thin bread that is typically served sliced and fresh from the oven. The crust is usually slightly crunchy and the crumb is light and airy.
