The content of a microblog differs from a traditional blog in that it is typically smaller in actual size. A single entry could consist of a single sentence or fragment. But, still, its purpose is similar to that of a traditional blog. Users microblog about particular topics that can range from the simple, such as "what one is doing at a given moment," while they are out and about on their travels. Many microblogs provide short commentary on a person-to-person level, share news about a company's products and services, or it is used just to provide current events in that persons life.

4. The main issues with micro blogging are privacy, security and integration. Privacy is a major issue due to the concerns of broadcasting social or work information to everyone who follows their feed. For about security. people are worried about the public seeing possible sensitive work information on public microblogging sites like Twitter. On example of this is NFL Running back Larry Johnson has been suspended by the Kansas City Chiefs while they investigate his alleged outburst against head coach Todd Haley and gay slurs made at the media on his twitter account. Integration could be the hardest issue to overcome because the company and its employees would have to adopt microblogging into the corporate culture. This would take time since companies would need to recognize its value before they could embrace it
