Have you heard about Twitter, Plurk or Jaiku? Some of you must have heard about at least one of them. Everyone is aware of blogs. Everyone has a blog these days… no matter how lazy or moody (like me) they are.
Well Microblog is a just like your normal blog but the length of the messages posted on microblog is limited to 140 characters. Yup just 140 characters thats even less than a SMS you send out on your cell phone. Twitter, Plurk and Jaiku are providers for microblogs. Microblogs are used to usually give status updates like “Out for a coffee” or if you find an interesting article on the net just post it on your microblog or just friendly banter.
You can create a group and send out post to everyone in the group akin to a group sms. So the next time you need to plan that weekend party or outing trying using Twitter. In fact many companies use Twitter for means of Internal Communications. Go thru this article from Apple on Twitter.
The most widely used microblogging service is Twitter. A post on Twitter is called a Tweet – reminds of the Tweety bird 
. And users are known as Twitterers. I am a twitterer too.. you can follow my tweets here http://twitter.com/aadilkhan
Though I am not very much active on Twitter… but I do Tweet as n when possible or in a mood to. Like I’ll tweet about this blog.
