Microblogging

Microblogging is a form of blogging using short posts without titles known as microposts^[1]^[2]^[3] (or status updates on a minority of websites like Meta Platforms'). Microblogs "allow users to exchange small elements of content such as short sentences, individual images, or video links",^[1] which may be the major reason for their popularity.^[4] Some popular social networks such as Twitter, Threads, Mastodon, Tumblr, Koo, and Instagram can be viewed as collections of microblogs.

As with traditional blogging, users post about topics ranging from the simple, such as "what I'm doing right now", to the thematic, such as "sports cars". Commercial microblogs also exist to promote websites, services, and products and to promote collaboration within an organization.

Some microblogging services offer privacy settings, which allow users to control who can read their microblogs or alternative ways of publishing entries besides the web-based interface. These may include text messaging, instant messaging, e-mail, digital audio, or digital video.
