According to a report by AFP on December 12 in San Francisco: A new type of online diary - microblogging - has emerged in recent years with mobile internet devices and online communities, allowing people to share their current situation and thoughts at any moment with just a few words.

Blogs are a medium for people to share their lives and dreams. However, when they have an extremely simple style and the characteristic of being sent anytime and anywhere, they become "microblogs".

Claymlish, who manages Yahoo's design pattern library and has written a book on the use of social networking techniques called "The Power of Many", said: "Blog activities have evolved and become more formal." He continued: "A beautifully written blog entry is almost an art form and time-consuming. Therefore, if you just want to spend a minute or two understanding what's happening outside before returning to work, microblogging meets your lifestyle needs."

Microblogging is currently very popular. One of the popular microblogging service websites, Twitter, has attracted a large number of users since its establishment in 2006. The site is a way to instantly share updates and news with countless friends via mobile text messages, with the slogan "What are you doing?" to attract users.

The new website Utterz takes it a step further, allowing users to simply make a phone call to send text, video, photos, or audio files from their mobile phones to the internet.

The power of these technologies unexpectedly shone brightly during a tech conference at the South by Southwest (SXSW) music, film, and interactive festival in Austin, Texas, USA. At the time, microblogging users attending the conference were criticizing BusinessWeek reporter Lacy's performance in interviewing Facebook founder Zuckerberg on stage, and Lacy also responded immediately through Twitter.

The craze for microblogging has prompted several blog and social networking sites to pay attention to how to make users feel more comfortable and easier to access. Popular social networking sites like Facebook and MySpace have also developed mobile versions to make it easier for users to access.

The popular video-sharing site YouTube has specifically developed contact methods for mobile phones, including a special player built into the Apple iPhone, which integrates video recording, music, internet, and mobile phone functions.
