Microblogging via Twitter

I have to admit that the concept of microblogging via twitter is an intriguing concept. A full, carefully crafted blog post is still a bit too much effort. Microblogging is more of a spur of the moment, off the cuff, sound bite kind of thing. It's perfect for those with severe attention deficit disorder.

Still, I'm not convinced that it's the thing for me. I think it makes more sense for a closely-knit group, or for somebody "famous" who has "groupies" ("twitties"??) who wish to follow their every move.

In any case, it is a new social networking "phenomenon."
