• Are you tired of Twitter? Explore microblogging.

    If you are out of this fanatic world of tweeting where you breath twitter like your breath by updating your every single move in 140 words, then you can have try some more microblogging places.
    For all those still don't know what is microblogging, it is the regularly updating your brief status in text or very small media files(audios or videos).
    So here are few of my recommendations:



    1)Tumblr

    With the tag line 'The easiest way to blogging' they have redefined the microblogging. They provide the hell lot of customizable options like themes, your themes, apps, mail, IMs and list continues. But if I say Tumblr = Twitter+Facebook then I might not be 100% wrong.




    2)Plurk

    Even these people are using the very famous 140 words limit of Twitter. With a lot of stats on your participation here, they have experimented on your taste. I mean they have tried to keep it away from Twitter but they are not going away from following followers.
    Have a try on Plurk.





    3)jaiku

    In look they are not very far away from Twitter. But the fact the Google people have bought them, gives them a second look. They have tried something different by embedding icons in messaging(remember the famous yahoo emoticons of yahoo messenger). Flexibility is much higher than Twitter. Try it once.





    4)Identi.ca

    It is one of the most portable web application. Sorry for the language but this is the new shit. Visit the link to believe it. Its high time for open source and so for the Identi.ca as it is based on the open source software StatusNet.
    You can update your status join your groups there.
