Hello all, What constitutes a micropost? There seems to be a general consensus that a tweet is generally a micropost and that a blog post is not, but rather a full "post". What are the distinguishing qualities of a micropost? Do Facebook status updates count? How about the (generally longer and rarer) Google+ status update? To what extent does ease of publication outweigh post length? How about the amount of purpose-generated and automatically-generated / automatically regurgitated content (for example, when an article is linked in to an update or comment) - does this have an impact on whether or not a post is a micropost? What about if it's an update that contains a brief abstract of a longer piece, and the longer piece is the real content (e.g. automatically generated tweets from new blog posts) - where's the boundary?
