Micro Blogging — A reflection

Positives of microblogging

Firstly, the great positives of microblogging are very positive. It is a great way for exploration, and being able to deliver opinions and stories, fully with your own voice. In a world where constant social media engagement can be very tolling, microblogging has proven to be a good outsource to free the mind.

Secondly, Microblogging is a great skill to have as a media enthusiast. Experience in Microblogging enables many doors to be open in the future. I feel it is great for an online portfolio, a true expression of your mind, with the freedom to discuss any of which the mind wishes.

Thirdly, the ease of microblogging is what is appealing to me. Content can be modern, fresh, opinionated, and it can be very appealing to do and develop as a skill.

Conversely, microblogging has its cons.

While refreshing, it can be difficult to create content without thinking of the opinion of others. Social Media has taught me and many that it is most a place of judgment, so some things you can say may be taken out of context in the theme of microblogging. That’s not to say any of my content is of such, it is a thought that should be considered when microblogging.

Furthermore, microblogging is limited in its content that is put out. Microblogging is short content where one may struggle to include all relevant information about a topic. This could prove difficult when it comes to thinking about what to include, and where to be elaborate.

Finally, microblogging is limited in its output. It is limited in its templates and themes, and unless creating your own unique website, it can be difficult to be creative in a sense.

Conclusively, my experience with microblogging has been more than positive and I would look to continue to do so, although there are some disadvantages, I feel most are able to be worked around, and the content produced can always be put to a high standard if one sets about a plan to do so.
