If you have a moment, I highly recommend to view this presentation Jaiku co-founder Jyri Engeström gave at Reboot 9.0 and at Mobile Monday Amsterdam recently on the future of participatory media.
Probably one of the most comprehensive views on social media titled Microblogging: Tiny social objects.
Why people like microblogging? Because most people can’t write several blogposts per day/week but like to keep conversations alive around topics and they like to stay connected with eachother in a simple and easy way (accesible through different interfaces and/or devices), including the mobile phone obviously 
I also started an mTrends channel for stuff you’d like to bring to my attention – and to mTrends readers of course: from any Jaiku interface you can post to mTrends channel by prefixing your message with the #mTrends channelname.
