Chapter 4: Microblogging: Write Small, Think Big

Microblogging is the newest and fastest way of getting information from one person to another and for breaking news. It’s incredibly efficient and is a great way to share links and tags to just about anything in real-time.

“If blogging started as an online journal, think of microblogging as an instant messaging journal.” Messages can also be consumed on numerous devices including a mobile device, via e-mail or by visiting a Web site such as Twitter.com.

It’s a great way to build community amongst journalists and as well to build your network.
