This post is purely speculative as I have no idea how microblogging will be when it is realised.

Microblogging is the next big feature that is coming to leo after the updates to the site's speed. This can be a a huge boon to the site as a lot of users might want to contribute but do not want to write out long blogs every day. And as someone who writes a lot on here I sympathise as it can be very exhausting. With microblogging you can make a quick witty post while you wait in line for your dinner.

But How Will It Work?

I usually have a rough idea of how something will work before it is launched but with microblogging I'm kinda stumped. You might be thinking well it is easy to picture, it is just Leo with smaller posts. That makes sense but how will it work with the longer posts? Will there be another section for it? Will it gets it own site? Will the small posts get smaller rewards or their own share of the reward pool? Will they get their own coin?

There are a lot of questions that come to mind. Microblogging and blogging are two widely different aspects that will be challenging to have co-exist on one site. But if anyone can do it is I Kal and the team and think this will be a great step towards mass adoption.

My Suggestion

I do want to say however it works we will need to make it clear that this is how the site is working and this is the content that we as a community want. The last thing we need is microblogging and blogging to compete and people fighting with each other that their post is longer and they put in more work so why did this short post make more money. We need to all be on the same page here.

The release date should be mid-January which is pretty close so keep an eye out for details in the weeks to come.

Also on a site note I am having trouble loading comments on my laptop so if I do not respond or upvote that is the reason why. I was going to do some before this post but I could not get them on the page.
