Blogging has been going on for quite some time now, and a lot of people now enjoy blogging more than anything else.
We are very used to the fact that blogging consists of very long entries about a person’s life—may it be personal, professional, etc. But as time passes by, there are also developments and new trends in blogging. Most prominent is the emergence of Twitter and Plurk where people can now blog using limited characters only—and that is what we now call micro blogging.

Micro blogging is a very interesting form of blogging since a person is given limited number of characters. This is a good practice for copyrighting because a person is challenged to say what he/she wants to say in the shortest way possible. And it’s not just about saying things. It’s about making those words matter in order to catch people’s attention.
This new trend in blogging also addresses people’s short attention span when it comes to writing and reading blog entries. Micro blogging makes it easier and is more convenient for people should they intend to build continuous conversations with their followers (readers).
However, the challenge for those bloggers who are still using the traditional way of blogging is to make their blog entries more interesting and ‘attention-catching’ so as to make their readers stick to their sites and read their entire entries.
As for me, I’m still attached to this kind of blogging—the traditional one. I still find it hard to convey my message using limited characters. Also, I enjoy the freedom I get from traditional blogging in terms of the length of my entries. Maybe the right time will come for me to finally embrace micro blogging.
But as for now, I’d stick with this one. 🙂
sunny side up!
