Twitter is microblogging

Add comment June 8th, 2008

I’ve seen it said by people here and there that Twitter is microblogging. Where blogging is sharing your life, thoughts, opinions and insights, Twitter is sharing the same thing but on a more intimate level.

When blogging, you can write entire articles to express yourself. When twittering, you only have 140 characters - less than a text message on your cellphone. You share parts of your life as messages to your friends and followers, as you’re doing it, rather than writing articles about it.
