microblogging
Short online updates
Microblogging is posting brief updates to a social media platform, typically limited to short text, images, or links.
Twitter (now X) popularized the format with its character limit.
The posts appear in followers' feeds in reverse chronological order: She's always microblogging about her cats.
The term has faded as "posting" or "tweeting" became more common.
