Woof Woof! Macroblogging is here!


We’ve had birds tweeting. Now, we’ve got dogs woofing! Welcome to macroblogging! *special thanks to whoever coined this seemingly redundant term*

A Twitter clone has just emerged and it’s called Woofer! Take note: it is indeed a clone. With a blue-themed layout almost similar to Twitter, you could hardly tell which is which, unless of course if you look at the site logo name. And oh, needless to mention, Woofer’s logo style is so twitter-ish.

But wait, there’s more! Woofer has more in store for us. If you love adjectives, adverbs, conjunctions, or this whole idea of redundancy, you’re also gonna love Woofer! If Twitter gave you a maximum of 140 characters per update, Woofer is providing you 1,260 characters more. Do the math and that’s 1,400 characters per update! That's not the maximum, that's the minimum number of characters per post. Clever!

Tips (as suggested by Woofer):
• Be eloquent
• Use adverbs
• Don’t ever abbreviate (DEA)

This is, by far, one of the most creative websites over the internet. By the way, let’s add one more tip: find an alternative “macro-blogging” site.

Woofer was made by Join the Company, LLC, a company that “builds entertaining websites that changes the way people use the Internet.”


Plurk this up. Tweet this. Blog this.
