I didn't get into whether it could be called micro-blogging, but there are people out there that think that because they started a Twitter account they are now "bloggers." Even though it is a form of blogging, one doesn't need a whole lot of background in how blogging works to use the site.We've seen this through the media - if a company or individual says that they have a Twitter account, people (typically) know where to find it. Compare that to a blog, and there might be so many similar blogs that it becomes a challenge to find the right one. (there may only be a few accounts that resemble the person, although they aren't updated).Should Twitter branch out to be more like Tumblr in the regard to being able to post more forms of content other than text and links, I would then consider the people who use it to be bloggers. But again, they would also have to remove the "140 characters" limit and this likely won't happen. Directly referring to blogging, yes.

Twitter is like blogging, but it isn't because this social medium was designed for people to stay in touch in more of a "real time" enviroment, in short quick bursts. It's not blogging it's microblogging. But your article is interesting none-the-less. Especially when one considers how it has evolved into a blogger support tool and advertising medium.
