Microblogs do exist in English, Chinese, Spanish, Russian, French, Korean, Portuguese,

Japanese, German, Turkish, Polish and Dutch. (see http://microblogs.ning.com )

A new fase of microblogging did arrise more recently: specialised and adapted to one of the

many possible usages of the concept.

emotions/feelings

Expressing what you feel and why you feel so was the earliest of the fonctions that did get

special attention and an own form to do so.

statements

Stating your opinion, bringing the arguments you see and getting feedback from people who

care to do so by voting and/or answering to your statement.

help

http://help.com

Crying out for help and findable people willing to listen and maybe able of doing something

for you. Giving advice, support or even aid.

topics

Getting online together and sharing tips, advice, links, thoughts, knowledge and wisdom on a

specific topic in a simple way.

I suppose that microblogs specialized in posting urls will be findable quite soon.

del.icio.us , digg.com and reddit.com might be in danger...
