Micronanoblogging Is the New Rage!

Posted: tdy

TWEETVILLE -- Responding to Twitter and Facebook users' ever-shrinking attention spans, a couple of Silicon Valley entrepreneurs have moved to fill the void with a new concept called micronanoblogging.

Where Twitter's microblogging platform limits users to 140 characters and nanoblogger platforms allow just one-word entries, Micronanoblogger allows just three characters, including punctuation.

"New," said Derek Del Carlo, co-founder and head of technology development for Micronanoblogger.

"Fun," he added.

Not everyone thinks the new platform is such a good idea. Many doomed it to failure, all in three characters.

"Dum," said user CutlassSoupReam, who then immediately deleted his account.
