This has spawned a new generation of Internet users who have managed to convey their thoughts within the limits of Twitter’s character limit by devising clever language tactics and URL shortening. Since then, Twitter has grown exponentially to become the ‘SMS of the Internet’. Twitter was founded by Jack Dorsey, Noah Glass, Biz Stone and Evan Williams in 2006. Of these, Twitter has revolutionized the microblogging sphere by limiting the total number of characters that can be shared to just 140, a little short of the length of an SMS. The most popular microblogs include Facebook, Twitter and Tumblr. The information can be a short sentence or a link to a web page or other multimedia content. Microblogs, initially called, Tumblelogs, allow sharing of short snippets of information in a quick and easy manner. Microblogging has evolved to meet these concerns. There is also a need for enhanced connectivity and interactivity more than what a conventional blog post can afford. However, time is a very limited resource and there needs to be a way to get information across concisely without bogging the reader with too many details. There are blogs on almost every subject on the Internet and most blogs allow interactive communication between the author and the readers. Blogs have provided an indispensable platform to express both personal opinions and entrepreneurial ideas unhindered by the limitations of conventional media. The Internet has revolutionized the way we share information. TweetDeck - Twitter & Microblogging Need for Microblogging
