micro-blogging
Micro-blogging is a form of multimedia blogging that allows users to send brief text updates or micromedia such as photos or audio clips and publish them via mobile phones and some IM programs, like QQ, MSN, gtalk, etc, either to be viewed by anyone or by a restricted group which can be nominated by the user. It’s different from traditional blogs in that it is typically smaller in actual size and aggregated file size. Twitter, a free social networking and micro-blogging service created by Jack Dorsey, has gained popularity worldwide.
