The telephone changed communication and the introduction of SMS further. Is the microblog the new blog? ie People writing in under 200 words what they used to say in 2000?

It’s pretty cool. They describe themselves as a sort of scrapbook. It works similar to how a blog works but the difference comes in they are geared for light content. You can add links, quotes, headlines, even microblogging entries from other services. I’m finding it to be quite fun to participate in.

Are you going to the mall? Is your cat sneezing? Update your Twitter page on the web, or by instant messaging, or send a text message from your phone. Your friends will receive this message on the web/IM or on their phone. This phenomenon has recently been named microblogging because your messages have to be short, 140 characters or less. This is of course caused by the restriction on text messaging which is around 140 characters. I am quite curious how this service became such a hype and so popular in such a short time. Hyves, the Dutch social networking site, already had a quite similar function with Wie, Wat, Waar? (Who, What, When?) which also allows you to share what you are doing and where on your site.

In a blog, I'm writing for the whole Internet, specifically keeping in mind Googling by potential employers or admissions committees, for example. But in microblogging apps, I'm creating content that will primarily be seen by known friends, and for me that changes the nature of what I post. Then again, there's probably a lot of individual difference in how people manage contacts in SNA-type microblogging apps; for example, I tend only to add Flickr contacts if I know them (variously defined) and even then it depends on the type of photos they make and how I know that person. For example, most of my contacts in Flickr are people I know who take really good photos, but there are a few friends whom I include that have a more photojournalistic/autobio photostream--these are the people that I genuinely like above and beyond the quality of their photography, and want to "keep an eye" on what they're up to.
