Microblogging
Microblogging
Microblogging is an online broadcast medium that exists as a specific form of blogging. A microblog differs from a traditional blog in that its content is typically smaller in both actual and aggregated file size.
A microblog is a blogging platform where the amount of information that can be shared per author is either enforced to be very short or just typically very short. Example. The most common examples of microblogs are Twitter and Tumblr. Twitter limits users’ posts — called “tweets” — to 140 characters.
Bloggers can usually use a number of service for the updates including instant messaging, e-mail, or Twitter. The posts are called microposts, while the act of using these services to update your blog is called microblogging. Social networking sites, like Facebook, also use a microblogging feature in profiles.
