Micro blogging: Adding new dimension to social media

The emergence of social media has made 'us' more demanding and restless. We are looking out for tools, techniques, and platforms that can enable us to create our own identity on this 'wild wild web'. And here comes the micro blogging.

Micro blogging sites like Twitter, FriendFeed, Plurk or Tumblr have really provided social media enthusiasts with 'arms and ammunition' to save their social media presence.

Each platform has its own specialty, making them unique and attractive. Personally, I have been using Plurk for couple of weeks now; however, the site has really fascinated me. Its user interface, content presentation, the concept of karma is really exciting and interesting.

Going back to the topic of our discussion that these micro blogging sites have really added 'third dimension' to our social media presence.

Apart from the conventional blogging on Blogspot or Wordpress, individuals and organizations have found 'short and simple' way to convey their messages to the target audience.

With an ability to share content in every possible way - text messages, links, videos and chat - these sites have made content sharing comfortable and convenient for the users.

In my personal opinion, this has made possible for their users to reach out to larger audience, as these platforms are becoming popular globally. Users are finding it more interesting to send their updates and communications to their audience in a crispy and precise way through these mediums compared to lengthy blogs.

And this is where content plays the key.

I am strong believer and follower of content charisma that has made this possible.

So once again, it is all about content!

I will be back with more such topics providing you food for thought.

Till then, stay connected!

If it doesn’t do that, it may be smart or beautiful or funny, but it ain’t quality.” And I completely agree to what Doug says. The quality of the content should depend on how users interact and respond to it. There are different aspects associated with the content quality. For example, what value it gives to the users, is it addressing buyers’ concerns or not and the list continues. While agreeing to all the above mentioned points, it really seems difficult challenge for the marketers to achieve that quality on regular basis. And besides what suits to one person may not be the ideal for other. Here are some useful tips t
