The social blogging movement continues to gain momentum as a newer generation of blogging tools add more social networking features. In case you're wondering, social blogs are a cross between a blog and a social network. The software programs creating them are often called microblogging tools because they encourage short or "micro" posts analagous to status updates on Facebook.
Social blogs let people post short updates quickly by email or cell phone, and auto-post the same updates to social networks like Facebook and Twitter. Social blogs go beyond RSS-type subscription feeds of first-generation blogs to include following and friending capabilities similar to those of Facebook and Twitter.
