A new wave of microblogs has arrived.

[Pieter Jansegers]

Microblogs do exist in English, Chinese, Spanish, Russian, French, Korean, Portuguese, Japanese, German, Turkish, Polish and Dutch. (see http://microblogs.ning.com )

A new fase of microblogging did arrise more recently: specialised and adapted to one of the many possible usages of the concept.


emotions/feelings

http://emotionr.com

Expressing what you feel and why you feel so was the earliest of the fonctions that did get special attention and an own form to do so.

statements

http://floort.com

Stating your opinion, bringing the arguments you see and getting feedback from people who care to do so by voting and/or answering to your statement.

help

http://help.com

Crying out for help and findable people willing to listen and maybe able of doing something for you. Giving advice, support or even aid.

topics

http://babl.nl

Getting online together and sharing tips, advice, links, thoughts, knowledge and wisdom on a specific topic in a simple way.


I suppose that microblogs specialized in posting urls will be findable quite soon. del.icio.us , digg.com and reddit.com might be in danger...

Hi Pieter, maybe you'd be interested in adding http://fillus.in to this microblogging "new wave" list? It includes aspects of some of these approaches, including the ability to share specific feelings and thoughts. I think in general people need more specific questions to answer than Twitter's trademark generic "what are you doing now?" question, and the new wave of microblogging services is beginning to address this.

It might be I'm to formated by Twitter & co. but, though I'm on your service, I haven't been able to use it in the right way, I'm afraid. I've left just one single update and right now I've set my profile but I can't find out about getting an avatar upon it...

Like I've said: it could just be me.
