2.9 Using Micro-Blogs

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.

For more information on traditional blogs within Teaming, see Section 5.3.2, Blog.
