Nanoblogging – blogging in 26 characters or less – is the hot new trend, says Zak Ryman, CEO of newcomer Flutter. Not only can you nano-blog throughout the day on the site’s iPhone app, but you can also input your updates from other social media sites and have Flutter automatically cut them down to the 26 character limit, giving them the brevity required to be consumed by your ADD-afflicted friends and followers.
It is, of course, a fictitious parody of everything that’s hot in social media – a “mockumentary” created by Slate Magazine to poke fun at the web’s latest obsession. It’s not exactly Spinal Tap, but we’ll take what we can get.

V1R4L is a tumblr to drive traffic to viral and guerrilla marketing initiatives, web trends, interesting fads and crazes and general internet tom foolery. In fact, our only rule for posts is that they have to be interesting. The categories to the right enable us to shelve posts by interest, but you certainly don’t have to submit ideas that fit neatly into one of those groups. If it’s interesting, we want to hear about it.
