===Microblogging===
===Microblogging===
Microblogging is a form of social media where posts are extremely short. Currently, the most popular microblogging platform is [http://www.twitter.com Twitter], although there are other options available such as [http://www.tumblr.com Tumblr], and [http://http://www.plurk.com/ Plurk]. Some consider microblogging random "short bursts of text", however it is better to think of it as a group of short conversations. Users are able to converse back and forth with one another, as well as grouping content by the use of hashtags.  <ref>Justin Herman, [http://www.howto.gov/social-media/microblogging Microblogging], April 18, 2013, Retrieved 2014-04-23.</ref>
