Micro blogging

Twitter has been used for many different things:  posting status updates, i.e., facebook style; pushing out news updates and promoting websites; and "micro blogging"!  Because of Twitter's self imposed rule of only allowing posts with a maximum of 140 characters, users are forced to make short entries.  Bloggers who have taken to Twitter as a new style of blogging, have turned their blogs into a "stream of consciousness", with multiple posts on a given topic.  For some, it is effective and informative.  For others, it can be nothing more than a bunch of random thoughts about nothing.  The reader is left to decide whether to "follow" him or her, or move on.  The ultimate is to be included in the "Suggested Users" section of Twitter.  Once there, you have hit the big time!  I'm still waiting...22 followers so far!  Follow me @scottjwheeler!
