Use the Micro-Blog feature to capture quick personal notes, or to inform others of what you are currently working on. This provides a greater transparency, so those you work with know what you are doing, and how they might offer assistance to help you accomplish your tasks.
Micro-blogs differ from regular blogs in that their purpose is not to present an entire topic or argument, but rather to give a quick snippet of information about the author of the micro-blog. Micro-blogs should be only one or two short sentences.
