MicroBlogging
In the past year Micro-Blogging has been on the rise. Rather than a standard blog it uses small less than 200 character posts similar to a status update. The size is usually small enough to be sent via SMS text message. While this may seem a bit silly to a power blogger but it can be a powerful tool to inform people of a new blog post or simply a way to get a quick message to a large group of people.
Since you can have many followers/fans you can quickly get your message to multiple people from a web browser, email, text message or mobile application.
With the immense popularity of people micro blogging about simple things like eating a cheese sandwich some of the sites have been brought down by overloading.
As providers scramble to keep up with their success the micro-blog is quickly finding it’s place in the Internet as a way to share every detail of your work and life with your friends and the world.
