Thursday, September 10th, 2009

What is next to blogging? The answer is definitely microblogging. The idea of microblogging is good for those who are in utter poverty of time. It is gaining momentum among not only social butterflies but also professionals owning business sites. Social butterflies make use of this activity to keep up with their online fans and followers while business website owners take fancy to it to promote their products and promulgate the latest service news among their customers. Microblogging has captured the essence of search engine optimization for website promotion. You can optimize microblogs with SEO measures to market your business and promote your brand on microblogging sites.

Twitter one of the most popular social networking sites has become a prominent platform for microblogging. It has grown into a most haunted hub of microbloggers. Much smaller than a blog in size and strength, a microblog can be a comment or a keyword-based micro-description on some product. Twitter followers are nuts on twitting, a microblogging activity in vogue. Besides Twitter, a few social networking sites are there to serve as microblogging platforms with a wad of features and functions. To name among them are FriendFeed, Tumblr, Plurk, Yammer, Sweetter 2.0, Jaiku, Microblogger and Spotjots.

Yahoo too is going to jump to the bandwagon of microblogging in English language countries with its Yahoo Meme in English. This step of Yahoo to draw the masses is sure to put Yahoo in stiff competition with Twitter, Tumblr and other microblogging sites. Yahoo Meme allows users to share text, images, music, videos in the form of microblogging. Moreover, you can specify your microblogs with a title optimize them with keywords and tag them with an avatar.

Then, go with the wind to catch this innovative networking fancy and share with me how you do feel.
