Q: What does a blogger do when he doesnt blog?
A: He microblogs!
Not always do you have any thing much to say! Often you have some different things to say and there is nothing common in either of what you want to say to sew it up into an article (or ArTicKle, in my case). So how do you say so many different things without writing a blog post? You tweet!
Twitter is the microblogging platform which has swept the blogging commnunity so much that most bloggers today rarely post a blog! The 140-character limit, at first, seems to be too little, but once you get the hang of it (Read: learn what those wierd acronyms and hashtags mean), you can say several different things as they come to your mind!
