Our research therefore focused on the question how to
provide practice possibilities that the students could use in
their limited time and without fear of loosing their face.
We decided to investigate micro-blogging, a type of blogging
that enables users to post short messages that are distributed
within their community. Users can post messages
from their mobile devices, a Web page, and from Instant
Messengers. The same channels are used for receiving messages
from other users.
