			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-57" style="margin: 0px 10px 0px 0px;" title="Picture 28" src="http://timskaggs.net/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/Picture-28.png" alt="Picture 28" width="232" height="85" />Microblogging is a fairly new term being used online and some of you are probably wondering what it means to &#8216;microblog&#8217;. It&#8217;s a fairly simple term and idea. Micoblogging is like blogging but really only to share thoughts, moments in life, photos, links, ideas&#8230; etc. Microblogging is for you to show who you are in small doses and give the reader an idea of your thought process. It&#8217;s really that simple! Some well known ideas of microblogging that you&#8217;ve heard of is Twitter and Facebook status updates, but there are rough ideas because they are more just status updates about your current moment.</p>
<p>Now, how do you get started? Well, there are many options out there today, but the best and prettiest (in my opinion) is a site called <a href="http://www.tumblr.com/">Tumblr</a>. <a href="http://www.tumblr.com/">Tumblr</a> is a microblogging site that let’s you write your ideas, share photos, share a chat, comment and interact with the <a href="http://www.tumblr.com/popular">Tumblr community</a>. People can follow you and get updated when you post something new. Like I said before, <a href="http://www.tumblr.com/">Tumblr</a> is the prettiest and easy to use; but there are more options:</p>
<p><a href="http://posterous.com/"><img class="size-full wp-image-59 alignleft" style="margin: 0px 0px 0px 60px;" title="posterous" src="http://timskaggs.net/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/posterous.jpg" alt="posterous" width="66" height="65" /></a><a href="http://www.plurk.com/"> <img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-60" title="plurk" src="http://timskaggs.net/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/plurk.jpg" alt="plurk" width="70" height="70" /></a><a href="http://friendfeed.com/"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-61" title="ff" src="http://timskaggs.net/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/ff.jpg" alt="ff" width="66" height="66" /></a><a href="http://wordpress.com/"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-62" title="wordpress" src="http://timskaggs.net/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/wordpress.jpg" alt="wordpress" width="63" height="63" /></a><a href="http://www.soup.io/"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-63" style="margin: 10px 0px 0px;" title="soup" src="http://timskaggs.net/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/soup.jpg" alt="soup" width="57" height="57" /></a><a href="http://ping.fm/"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-64" style="margin: 30px 50px 0px 0px;" title="ping" src="http://timskaggs.net/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/ping.jpg" alt="ping" width="82" height="41" /></a><br />
You&#8217;re probably thinking, why would you want to microblog when you already have a blog? Here&#8217;s my attempt at an analogy, it’s like taking a two-hour afternoon drive around the countryside after driving an hour and a half from work. You do it because it is fun, and you do it because you want to feel like it’s an expression of yourself. I have a <a href="http://timothyskaggs.com/">tumblr microblog</a> and it’s pretty random, but it&#8217;s fun and people see a less professional side of me.</p>
<p>Check the options out and if you like one test it, remember you can always close the account. Also, let me know what you think and comment your microblog url.</p>
