Keep your car’s tires inflated. Low air pressure means more drag, which means more energy lost. Save your gas money!Ok, the web zombies have shifted their loyalties once again - from blogging to micro-blogging. Micro-blogging is pop because - it’s easy, it’s fun, and it takes all the pain out of blogging, such as writer’s block, time investment, brainstorming for title and the associated publishing hassles.
On web, Twitter is quintessential of micro-blogging trend. People have embraced it like anything. It’s even been referred to as virtual coffee shop by some, because they can converse and talk about what they are doing/thinking/contemplating with their twitter friends spread globally in almost real time.
But, will main-stream blogging loose out so easily with services such as twitter and alike (chittr.com is closed it seems now) ? It’s not something which time will tell. It’s the changing dynamics of web that’s making micro-blogging more enticing to newbies and younger lots.
Nevertheless, the race is on between the two. With around 2 million users already, the twitter horse is way far behind it’s older main-stream contemporaries, but is of-course catching up pretty fast.
Now is there a scope for another scale of blogging i.e. a mini-blog. So that anything you can’t fit in those 140 chars of twitter’s license raj, and which definitely is not big enough to be posted as a blog (becaues it doesn’t have a title or so) can fall under the mini-blog umbrella.
Just a thought.
