A few days ago I was reading a post from the MetaSpring blog called ‘5 Ways Your Business Can Embrace Micro-blogging’. In this article, they lay out the intricacies of the micro-blogging trend and provide a few interesting ways that businesses can take advantage of it.

Although the article was interesting, I found the blog itself more interesting, packed with custom web design and internet marketing ideas. Although the reason behind the blog might be to simply attract visitors, the quality of their blog is very high, so it’s really worth a visit.

MetaSpring offers creative and technical services and advice for web, print, and interactive media. Whether you’re looking for a logo, web application, or tradeshow display, they can develop a graphic design and matching campaign that will convey your message not only correctly but with great taste and originality. Their portfolio looks really neat too.

Still, no matter the reason behind publishing the article, it is quite interesting to bear in mind when developing a strategy to attract visitors. For those who don’t know what micro-blogging is, Micro-blogging allows you to write brief text updates about your life on the go, and send them to friends and interested observers via text messaging, instant messaging, email or the web.

The most popular service is called Twitter, which was developed last year and became popular among techno-gurus at the 2007 South by Southwest Conference in Austin, Texas. Part of the magic of Twitter is that it limits you to 140 characters per post, forcing you to make pithy statements on the fly.
