microblog
Brief online updates
A microblog is a blog format characterized by short, frequent posts—typically a few sentences or less.
Twitter popularized the form, limiting posts to 280 characters.
The verb microblog means to post such content: She microblogs about her daily commute.
The format suits quick updates, links, and observations rather than extended writing.
