Sometimes, the clock says that it's time for dinner, but my body is not ready just yet. In fact, I'd be totally OK with just a snack, a little bite of something to keep the edge off my hunger. The term Grazing was invented to describe eating with little snacks all day long rather than having three large meals during the day.
According to the experts, Grazing can help with weight loss because your body does not have to digest large amounts of food at one time. It is also recommended for diabetic patients to keep the levels of insulin in the body at more stable levels. Grazing also helps to overcome fatigue and prevents heart attacks by lowering high cholesterol.
I see the trend towards microblogging on sites such as Twitter
and Tumblr in much the same way. Twitter and sites like it allow you to access data frequently in bite sized little pieces. You can click on a link to an article if you want more. Microblogging is good for the blogger's diet. It forces you to keep your ideas succinct. Microblogging also fights the fatigue of spending too much time online trying to read long posts. It will also keep you in shape because you now have time to do other activities...like exercise.
Is blogging making you overweight? Are you over-dosed with too much information and not enough time to read it all? Well, microblogging may be just what the doctor orders to clear up the information backlog and force you to trim down your intake.

Hi Lola, I graze all day and Twitter! I like to use twitter to post links that I want to go back to, if it's something I think others would benefit from also. I also see benefits of eating little snacks while I am twittering, as it keeps my twitter time down as well.
