In the internet world you have blogging and then you have microblogging. At first glance one might think this is a smaller version of a blog, and in some ways it is.

Microblogging, in its original concept, is a blog that allows bite sized snippet or phrases to be placed on it for quick informational purposes. Maybe one example of this would be the site know as Twitter. Here you can write 140 character snippets which have a link to a bigger blog.

In a corporate sense a microblog system could be an internal messaging system where quick little messages are sent to a list of employees when needed. This allows participants to get real time messages out without having the burden of going through the steps of posting to a blog.

Whether it is in a social networking environment or in a corporate situation, microblogging has found its place in both. As these platforms become more widely used you will see a much smoother interface for users to use, and companies will find more ways to incorporate their marketing skills in these microblooging platforms.

If you haven’t dipped you toe into twitter or the likes, give it a try and see how you like it.
