The most famous social media apps in the world are short form content ones. Facebook and twitter are so popular because both connect people all around the world in such an easy and convenient manner. The apps are very very easy to use and so popular. Any granny can do Facebook or Twitter and there are plenty of grannies who actually do that.
Hive is the best and probably most active blockchain-based social media platform out there. It's one of the few so far, as we don't have too many of this kind. It is however a mostly blogging oriented one. Short form content has been dismissed and labeled as shit posting since the early days.
I highly diagree on that, though. I get the reasoning(spam), but we can cure spam without discouraging short-form content. We can't say it is "forbidden" or completely disregarded as there is this dbuzz thing, but I see it more as a community rather than a separate living entity, something like Leofinance is.
Project blank is something I got obsessed with, over the years ;), and the more I think about it the more I feel discouraged that we might now have it this year either. I am not in charge of the development of Leofinance and not in the position to ask for anything, but my gut feeling tells me it will be a blast once we finally get our hands on it.
Engagement will be reshaped once we will have microblogging on Hive. Consuming whole 500, or more words of pieces of content is quite a challenge, especially if time is not on your side and engaging with as many authors and commenters to such posts in a day is definitely time-consuming.
Twitter makes for a lot of internet traffic and it's in this position because it was designed as such. Tweets are like sharing the core of an idea rather than putting the whole picture into words, for the ones following one on social media, and that ignites engagement. It's quite at hand to be heavily active on Twitter.
BUT, as mentioned above, it was designed as such.
More does not necessarily mean better, thus when we think we will have tons of more content going out in the world of the internet through this blockchain does not mean it's going to be a better type of content. Spam may occur, that's highly likely, but it shouldn't stop us from once and for all plunging into the microblogging world.
For us, crypto heads, getting there when shit happens, posting about it, and engaging on particular topics is more important IMO than spending half an hour or more wrapping such topics just to frame them into a blog post.
This entire post here could have been very well be formatted in a twitter-like one. Something like: microblogging is going to be a game-changer for Hive. Engagement levels will shoot through the roof once we dive into it, spam may occur, and transactions could become slower, but we desperately need such a form of content.
Microblogging will push us into the crypto content creation front lines. As I have stated in so many blog posts of mine, blank will market Hive as nothing has ever done that so far. Noise.cash is a lame try at doing what blank will. It simply doesn't have the tokenomics and the pedigree.
OK, time to close this one now, so you don't fall asleep reading my crap. The gist of this post is that IMO microblogging will 10x our current engagement/traffic levels and our impact on the crypto industry as a blockchain.
Thanks for your attention,
Adrian

One thing though is that a vast majority of micro blogging is shit on Twitter lol. I don’t mind a quick update or random thought throughout the day but basing your content on micro blogging I don’t think is very conducive to long term success. I may just be biased though!

By no means microblogging will replace blogging on Hive. It will further enhance content creation on the blockchain.

Agreed. We are going to see an added dimension to the ecosystem that we really havent seen before. Of course, it is going to depend upon how it is structured and the data is laid down.
That should be interesting.
