Humans have conveyed short messages, long with meaning, for as long as 40,000 years. Smoke signals have traversed the airways. Expressive quips filled the Seinfeld show. At all stages and ages, we move forward in small bursts of communication. Some people just don't notice how much can be conveyed when just a little is said. Microsharing is the class of social software tools that enables people to update one another with short bursts of text, links, and multimedia - either through standalone applications or as part of larger online communities or social networks.
