Microblogging


Microblogging has become huge in recent years. The most popular services are Twitter, Tumblr, whatyadoin.com, Plurk, Emote.in, PingGadget, Beeing, Jaiku, and identi.ca.

Facebook, MySpace, LinkedIn, JudgIt, and XING status updates are also a social networking form of microblogging. We'll look at these in Chapter 11, Making Moodle Magic.
