Write a blog article or a microblog post in these situations:

When should I write a blog article?When should I post a microblog?

You should write a blog article when:

  • Your content is a formal corporate announcement, such as an organizational update or new corporate tools being announced (e.g. a new HRIS system or a new expense technology).
  • The information must be presented in a specific format (using templates).
  • The content you are posting is lengthy.
  • The intention is for the content to be relevant at a future date (e.g. an article sharing best practices on how to interact with customers will be relevant for a long time).

You should post a microblog when: 

  • Your content is a quick update or announcement, such as promoting an event or congratulating a person on their work anniversary.
  • The information posted will typically have no specific layout, and GIFs are encouraged.
  • The content you are posting is succinct.
  • You believe your content is relevant “now”, but not necessarily in 2 days, 1 week or 1 month from now (e.g. posting that donuts are in the shared kitchen is relevant now, and might not be relevant 1 hour from now, when the donuts are all gone).
