Micro Blogs

Microblogging
Microblogging is similar to normal bloggin but is on a smaller scale often only consisting of about a sentence and an embedded image or video. The topics, which microblogs often involve are simly "What I'm doing right now" to the thematic, "Sport cars" for example. Although microblogging can be used for advertising organizations, they are often used with normal blogs to help get awareness. Micro bloggs are much simpler to set up with only a name, email and URL address for registration to these websites (Twitter and Tumblr).

Twitter
The general appearence of Twitter
Twitter is used  by many people both famous and not. This is normally shown by the large difference in follows the person has. In some ways, has almost took the level of a social networking services due to talk to friends, follows and finding new people. This service is good, but finding new people can be quite annoying unless you can spell their names correctly. The service is much simpler than services like blogger and tumblr, with a limit on the characters in a post (due to it originally being designed for Mobile Phones), but can still be very affective when used in the right  ways and also in the wrong ways due to the posts being published world wide.

Tumblr
The general appearence of Tumblr
Tumblr has a more professional feel to it, which generally looks alot more similar to Blogger rather than Twitter, another micro blog. Insetad of using links from other websites to post videos, you can upload videos to your blog instead of having to use a daily motion, or Youtube account to post videos. This is a similar case to other media sources like audio and images. However, there is a limit to the amount of videos and audio files that can be uploaded in a single day.
