Is Folkstr notable enough for its own article?

Is Folkstr notable enough for its own article?, i ask here before i write a article about the application! Fotballman 20:56, 10 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I will start a article about Folkstr then. Fotballman 21:08, 10 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, same question, is Folkstr notable enough for its own article?, other users opinion please! Akarambo (talk) 17:05, 8 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I can't find anything inherently notable about it, so at this point I'd say no —αlεx•mullεr 18:21, 8 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

History and early example

Don't know if we will ever develop a historical/predecessors section, but at the W3C before 2002 I was blogging many small items a day, characterized by keyword and available to colleagues via RSS. I called it "Busysponge" --Reagle (talk) 16:40, 17 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It would be interesting to know when the first microblog actually took place. I've been providing 'soundbites' of my blog posts since 27 April 2002[1], which look much like my microblogs on Twitter today. The one on that date in particular was 134 characters long --Jonathan Bishop (talk) 16:43, 2 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Where did this term originate? Anyone have any sources? --Dan Leveille^TALK 00:35, 10 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It would be interesting to check references for 'ancient' roots of microblogging style. Diaries are of course in this category. I recently stumbled upon Anton Chekhov notebook/diary and found it to be a pretty good example of 19th century 'microblogging'. It would be nice to also checkout telegrams.--Wcris (talk) 23:42, 8 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Criticisms

Come on you lazy bastards! Let's get the Criticisms section rolling!!! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.79.46.99 (talk) 12:30, 27 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Micro blog and Tumblelog has significant difference! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 114.130.8.6 (talk) 13:14, 18 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

NOTA BENE

The closure of Pownce hasn't been mentionned yet...

What's the point in having a seperate phrase, who ever created this phrase is splitting hairs for the sake of saying "I invented a unique phrase". What's wrong with "Status updates"? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 89.145.198.172 (talk) 15:08, 16 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Move to Microblogging?

Shouldn't this be "Microblogging"? The hyphenated version sounds nearly as Zweibelesque as "news-paper" . Jpatokal (talk) 16:32, 11 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I agree.Qiaohua —Preceding undated comment added 14:18, 29 June 2009 (UTC).[reply]

Why is the lemma a gerund? Wouldn't it be more consistent with Wikipedia usage to move this to Microblog? Cf Blog (not Blogging). And I don't think microblog is a synonym of tumblelog. A tumblelog is a medium to broadcast anything, often images. A microblog serves to broadcast SMS-like text messages.--94.222.218.157 (talk) 19:28, 2 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

"Issues with Microblogging Section"

That entire paragraph needs to be cited or scrapped. It doesn't read well.

Reads a bit like original research to me.

pbj.ca-link?

I don’t see the point of the link “The pbj.ca distributed instance of the laconica Microblogging Open Source Software Project uses nginx for scale and speed”. Please elaborate or possibly remove. --Nomeata (talk) 08:44, 9 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
