As I mentioned in my earlier article about Twitter, microblogging is a way for people to update their "status" throughout the day, from various different places, using several technologies. 

For example, I could log on to Facebook, and change my status to "back to work" on a Monday morning.  Or, I could send a text message to Twitter to say I'm "sleeping in late on Saturday - yeah right!"  You can even update your status via instant messaging.

There are dozens of these microblogging websites, each with a different look and feel, and levels of popularity.  I'm currently using Facebook, Twitter, and my latest:  Plurk.  Plurk is cool because its widget that shows my last several updates works well on this web site - you'll notice it starting today.

Now, on to HelloTxt.  Since there are so many microblogging sites, and you usually have to log on with different e-mails or user names and passwords, HelloTxt makes it easy to update all of your accounts at the same time.  You can pick specific sites to update, or update them all!  Sweet.
