所谓"微博",就是微型博客(micro-bloging)。随着网络的发展,web2.0技术的兴起,人们可以利用手机、IM软件(gtalk、MSN、QQ、skype)等等即时发布140字左右的消息,因此微博也迅速成为年轻人的新宠。不仅年轻人喜欢用微博,一些资深的作者也追随这种潮流,甩开长篇累牍的大文章,在微博上"晒"出自己的声音。
不管你是专业作家还是普通老百姓,只要会发短信,就能使用微博。通过微博,我们可以用一句话随意记录生活,随时分享发生在身边的新鲜事,三言两语晒一晒自己某一刻的心情, follow你感兴趣的人,随时关注他的动态。奇妙的是,尽管这些信息看似随意和分散,但通过记录一个普通人生活中所有的点滴,可以让别人更贴近他真实的一面。可以说,微博在一定程度上,就变成了一个心情的记录本。
The Age of Micro-blogging
The so-called "微博" is actually the micro-blogging. With the development of network and the emergence of web2.0 technology, people can make an immediate release of information of about 140 words through their mobile phones or IM soft wares (such as Gtalk, MSN, QQ, and Skype), and that's also the reason why micro-blogging has quickly become a new favorite of the young. Micro-blog is not only loved by the young generation, some famous writers also follow the trend. They lay aside the lengthy and windy articles and air their views with the micro-blogging.
Whether you are a professional writer or a common netizen, if you know how to send a text message you are able to use the micro-blog. Through micro-blog, we can make a casual record of our lives with only one sentence, report new happenings around us and share our moods at a certain moment in a few words. We can follow the people interesting us and know what they are doing any time any place. Wonderfully, casual and scattered as the information seems, it pieces up the real life of a person. The micro-blog can also be considered as a notebook of one's moods in a perspective.
