Micro-blogging takes the virtual world by storm
Economic Times, India 
It allows other people to have permanent
access to the details of one’s daily
life. As with traditional
web-based diaries or blogs, micro-bloggers create a profile with a blog service
and use it to post short entries. These posts are not normally more than 140
keystrokes long – shorter than a standard text message. One need not call up the
profile page with a browser to compose and read the micro-blog messages.
