The World of Microcontent Now that is a useful word 'microcontent'. This word refers to the management systems of personal contents online including: weblogs, webzines, email digests, and personal publishing. A great site outlining the concept is found at Microcontent News. The importance of Microcontent is that it provides a voting system for Macrocontent. Thousands of pointers stemming from Micrcontent on the web provides a system for elevating the stories that are on larger sites. While I may point to Microcontent news here, and several other people do the same in combination because we provided a pointer there we are voting the importance of the site. Mention the same site in an email that is then posted onto a mail digest site, and then we also have small websites that point there as well, we are providing a way for crawlers from Google or other Directory site to find and then index that site.   2:51:12 PM
