 Microblogging is a form of social media where posts are extremely short. Currently, the most popular microblogging platform is Twitter, although there are other options available such as Tumblr and 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>
