micro-blogging

Nano Blogging

Small and simple is taking its way into our digital lives that are cluttered. First we've got Twitter, so called micro-blogging. We could build network, share with others and tell the world what we were doing - the only limitation was to use 140 characters. Cut the crap is the driver behind micro-blogging. Twitter size, snacking format fits perfectly in our busy and over-connected, overcomplicated digital universe. Nutritious information. Not too many calories but still fulfilling our hunger for being part of human network. Now it's taken a step further by introducing nano blogging. Adocu. Tell the world what you are doing using just one word. It demands cutting the crap even further. No air, no unnecessary words. One word that is defined as streamline of letters, no spaces...

Adocu_1 One word concept is pretty good idea if we want to reduce number of incoming information, make them more compact and easy to consume. Neat. But with adocu you can accidentaly choke. There is no limits on the numbers of letters, you can put all sentence, you just avoid spaces. Can adocu cut the crap? Yes and no. It is all in hands of people who use it and the meaning they convey through it. I'll defintely keep an eye on it.

Meanwhile I stick to Twitter.
