micro-blogging

　　Micro-blogging is a form of multimedia blogging that allows users to send brief text updates or micromedia such as photos or audio clips and publish them via mobile phones and some IM programs, like QQ, MSN, gtalk, etc, either to be viewed by anyone or by a restricted group which can be nominated by the user.
