Standard blogging is extremely popular, and is growing at an incredible rate. However, microblogging is a form of blogging which is becoming increasingly popular across the world. The concept of microblogging is that where you write short sentences which describe what you are doing at any given point in time. The problem with "proper" blogging sites such as blogger is that they are designed to hold longer posts (such as what I am writing now), which is inconvenient if you want to write something short and snappy. Probably the most used microblogging site is Twitter, although Facebook and other similar applications have microblogging elements in them. Microblogs can be easily updated, and now sites like Twitter are available on your phone, they can be looked at and updated almost anywhere in the world. Celebrities like Stephen Fry are increasingly using Twitter, as it is an extremely convenient form of blogging.
