Since last year the term ‘microblogs’ has become established:
• Form of blogging that allows
users to write brief text
updates (usually < 200
characters) and publish them,
either to be viewed by anyone
or by a restricted group which
can be chosen by the user.
• These messages can be
submitted by a variety of
means, including IM, SMS,
email or the Web
Micro-blogging helps to focus on
the question: is a blog a
publishing or a communications
tool?
