Microblogr is a social networking and micro blogging community started by Cosmin Ghiu in September 2007 that allows you to instantly connect and collaborate with your friends along with discovering new ones.
Now this may seem like YASNS (Yet Another Social Network Site) but what makes Microblogr different is that it will have a Text Message (SMS) feature that will allow you to instantly communicate with short messages to all friends in your network/profile! Post to Microblogr on the website and your friends will get a text message (if they activate this function). Track your messages directly here on Microblogr along with your friends as well....
So next time you want to tell everyone where you are meeting up with your friends, you just post to microblogr and everyone in your network gets the Text Message! Let Microblogr communicate for you!
Use the website (Microblogr) and your mobile phone to connect with your friends!
So why another social network, and why do you call it a "micro blog"?
"Micro Blogging" according to wikipedia.org is: "is a form of blogging that allows users to write brief text updates (usually less than 200 characters) and publish them, either to be viewed by anyone or by a restricted group which can be chosen by the user. These messages can be submitted by a variety of means, including text messaging, instant messaging, email, MP3 or the web."
Now that's a mouthful!
We wanted to lay that groundwork though because that is the essence of microblogr. Also, the beauty of Microblogr is that we made it as easy to use as possible. No fuss or special skills (at least at first) to get started! Here are a few dare we say, "advanced" features:
URL's in Posts: If you want to add an URL into a comment on Microblogr wrap it in [url][/url] tags. This will turn the URL into a TinyURL.
If you click the 'link' icon just above the comment box it will put the tags in the box for you
Trackbacks: These are a way of commenting on someone elses profile, pictures and posts. The post is written on your own profile and links to the post/profile/picture you want to trackback. To trackback something look for this icon and click it 
Embed YouTube Video: You can embed YouTube Videos in comments using [youtube][/youtube] tags.
You need to put the YouTube video ID inbetween the two tags, you can get this by going to YouTube, finding the video you want to embed and grab the ID from the URL. The URL will look something like this
http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=qHc0VDdhXVQ
You need the end part qHc0VDdhXVQ
Enter it as follows: [youtube]qHc0VDdhXVQ[/youtube]
If you click the YouTube icon just above the comment box it will put the tags in the box for you
Note from Founder:
Currently we are in ALPHA phase which means I am inviting friends, colleagues, and other fellow bloggers to test drive microblogr! Once we hit 100 members I would like to close open registration and allow only INVITES for the BETA version.
So register now to be part of the trend setters!
Hope you enjoy Microblogr, and feel free to add me to your list of friends or send me a message to help you get started!
with respect:
