I’ve been micro-blogging on Tumblr and via Twitter, and through my Facebook account, for the last month and it’s been a great experience.

Micro-blogging is - no question - a legitimate way to share information.

One of the main differences is that you get inspired as you move through your day to take a little moment and make it into media. Is it a thought, an image, a choice? When you get the hang of it, you don’t need to think much about it - technology moves to the background - and you just put it out there. No interruption.

With blogging you need a moment or two to craft something, with micro-blogging it’s a communication gesture.

What’s cool is you start to get little pings back like: “You didn’t tell me that you’d be in Mountain View, let’s get together.” And you know - for sure - that lots of people who you won’t hear back from are getting a little something from your micro-posts, simply because that’s your experience with the stuff coming your way.

I’d love it if more people realized how easy micro-blogging is and participated. We need to push that 1% to 3%.  It’s nutrition for the mind.

(By the way, I missed blogging.)
