Hi I was wondering if any of you were microblogging? That is using the likes of twitter, Jaiku, Pownce, Spoink or Plurk? It is like an online account of where you are and what you are doing.
The appeal of microblogging is both its immediacy and portability. Because posts are so brief (typically 140 – 200 characters), a microblogger can update his microblog often enough to keep readers informed as events, whether large or small, unfold. Anyone with a cell phone can send and receive updates any time, anywhere.
Subscribers can read microblog posts online or request that updates be delivered in real time to their desktop as an instant message or sent to a mobile device as an SMS text message.
