Description:

Finding people to follow

Micro.blog is committed to providing a harrassment-free environment for the community. We don't have options like a directory or a general search tool, which could be used by ill-intentioned trolls to send @-replies. But there are a lot of ways to find people to follow.


The Difference Between Micro.blog and Twitter

Though Micro.blog is often compared to Twitter, it is actually a blog-hosting platform with a social media-style timeline where bloggers can follow each other and engage in conversations. If you are more familiar with Twitter, this article will help you know what to expect.


What You Can Do With a Microblog

A survey of 12 different ways that people are using Micro.blog as a showcase for photos or artwork, a social media home base, a podcasting tool, a
daily log, or just for general blogging. Micro.blog makes it easy to get started publishing about whatever you're passionate about.


You're Not Limited to 280 Characters

Don’t let the name fool you. While Micro.blog is focused on short posts because we think it encourages people to write more often, you can just as easily publish long-form essays or posts with multiple paragraphs. The title of your post will appear as a link in the timeline.
