I heard that "Microblogging is for those with nothing to say?" but I think the real issue is that if blogging is restricted to logging in from a PC, then it won't work for microblogging, it needs to be possible from mobile and other platforms without any trouble.
Saw Jyri Engeström on a panel at the 21c event
last week, but didn't get time to discuss with him. Instead, I resolved to try
out Jaiku. Quite a few debates about Jaiku privacy out there, and it
already swallowed all my blog posts (not to mention talking about
grabbing my cellid and whatever and publishing!) Not sure if it will
work on my boring old phone, but will try the Java widget, but I reckon the text
messages might be the easiest access mode. See http://paulwallace.jaiku.com/ if you want to check out my progress, wish me luck!
As to whether I have anything to say, comments are always welcome 8~)

One word for easy microblogging from your cell, IM client, etc.: Twitter -- lots of Sun employees have jumped on the band wagon. You'll see some of them here: http://twitter.com/lskrocki/with_friends

Yes, Jaiku seems to have the same look & feel, but I hadn't been tempted to try Twitter. Then Jyri convinced me I should give microblogging a try last week. Maybe I'll flit from one to another until I'm happy 8~)
Does the Twitter Java widget include the same presence and auto-detect of location?
