List of microblogging sites like Twitter

List Entries:
1. Twitter Twitter is a microblogging site where users can post messages (called 'tweets') containing no more than 140 characters. Users can follow other users. A user's tweets and the tweets of those they follow, would appear in their feed (where the tweets are listed in chronological order with the newest at the top). Searchable keywords (known as hashtags) can be placed within a tweet by putting a hash symbol (#) immediately before the word. In addition to text and links, users can also post images and videos.
2. Sina Weibo Sina Weibo is a very popular Chinese microblogging site. Its similarities to Twitter include the 140 characters limit, re-posting (similar to Twitter's retweet function), hashtags, conversations (using @username), and shortened URLs. Users can attach image, audio, and video files to their posts.
3. Google Plus Google+ is a social network that allows its users (people and pages), to 'circle' one another (with user generated circle categories). Users can make both private and public posts. The public posts function allows Google+ to be used in a similar way to Twitter (but allows for much longer posts).
4. Tumblr A blogging platform with microblogging features.
5. Plurk A microblogging website which allows its users to unlock additional features (such as unique characters, custom display name, and photo upload) by earning badges.

20. SayBubble Saybubble is a social network and microblogging site, with an emphasis on cities and countries. Registered accounts can be for individuals or organisations (which also have an individual named as the contact). Users may follow users, countries, and cities. Users can also make friends, photo galleries and posts. Posts can be either public or only for friends, and may include a video, a link, and up to four images. The posts may tag cities and/or users. Posts can be up-voted, down-voted, favourited, shared, linked to other posts, and receive comments. SayBubble features an uncommon split-screen layout. On the left-side there are tabs which include your news feed, posts, friends, the users/cities you are following, and a countries menu. The right-side layout depends on what you have clicked. Clicking on a city profile link brings up that city's profile and feed on the right-side. Clicking on an individual's profile link shows their profile on the right-side. The right-side also has a menu for cities, a tab for your profile, a tab for your photo galleries, and a search tab.
21. Blobic Now defunct (with the domain now going to the website of a Spanish SEO company). Formerly a popular Spanish language microblogging site that let users post links, make text posts (known as blobics), and upload images. Users could follow categories and other users. The feed had a pinboard style layout, similar to Pinterest.
