</p>
<p>In May 2007, there were 111 microblogging sites in various countries.

Different versions of services and software with microblogging features have been developed. <a href="Plurk" title="Plurk">Plurk</a> has a timeline view that integrates video and picture sharing. Flipter uses microblogging as a platform for people to post topics and gather audience's opinions.

</p><p>Services such as <a href="Lifestreaming" title="Lifestreaming">Lifestream</a> and <a href="Snapchat" title="Snapchat">Snapchat</a> will aggregate microblogs from multiple social networks into a single list, but other services, such as <a href="Ping.fm" title="Ping.fm">Ping.fm</a>, will send out the microblog to multiple social networks.

People share what they observe in their surroundings, information about events, and their opinions about topics from a wide range of fields. Moreover, these services store various <a href="Metadata" title="Metadata">metadata</a> from these posts, such as location and time. Aggregated analysis of this <a href="Data" title="Data">data</a> includes different dimensions like space, time, theme, sentiment, network structure etc., and gives researchers an opportunity to understand social perceptions of people in the context of certain events of interest.<sup id="cite_ref-knoesis-spatio-temporal_20-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-knoesis-spatio-temporal-20"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>20<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-Auer-cc_21-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Auer-cc-21"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>21<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Microblogging also promotes authorship.

<p>Microblogging is not without issues, such as <a href="Privacy" title="Privacy">privacy</a>, <a href="Security" title="Security">security</a>, and <a href="System_integration" title="System integration">integration</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-zhao_23-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-zhao-23"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>23<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>
</p><p><a href="Privacy" title="Privacy">Privacy</a> is arguably a major issue because users may broadcast sensitive personal information to anyone who views their public feed.

</p><p>On centralized services, where all of the microblog's information flows through one point (such as servers operated by <a href="Twitter" title="Twitter">X (Twitter)</a>, privacy has been a concern in that user information has sometimes been exposed to governments and courts without the prior consent of the user who generated such supposedly private information, usually through <a href="Subpoena" title="Subpoena">subpoenas</a> or <a href="Court_order" title="Court order">court orders</a>.
