Microblogging

Microblogging is a way to share short messages, or micro posts, on social media platforms. Twitter (now X), with its 280-character limit, has become the world’s favorite microblogging platform. Instead of long-form blogs, it’s all about quick takes, opinions, or updates. Think of an artist tweeting work-in-progress photos, or brands sharing snappy insights.

Instagram captions and Tumblr also count as microblogging spaces where images, links, and concise captions take center stage. Its appeal lies in speed - less effort to create and consume - making microblogs perfect for keeping followers in the loop while building connections.
