Microblogger allows you to easily create a microblog sidebar with quick updates of your thoughts and actions, but it also comes with a useful blog activity tracker so your readers can keep up to date with the rest of your community! The plugin is highly customisable, allowing you to have complete control over the way your bloggings are shown to your audience.
The plugin is also accompanied by a mobile UI that will allow you to write microblogs and see recent activity on any wap/GPRS/3G mobile phone – for the cost of around 3KBs data transfer (1 or 2 pence UK depending on your network provider)!
Also, the modular design of the plugin opens the door for third party additions to the plugin.
Development is still very much on going, so frequent updates are to be expected!
Your feedback would be greatly appreciated! So please drop me a line on the comments area of the microblog page on my blog, or at samuel.ecwilliams@googlemail.com

Note: This plugin won’t work on WordPress-instances hosted by WordPress.com.
This plugin integrates the <a href="http://terrifically.org" rel="nofollow ugc">Terrific concept</a> into WordPress and is based on <a href="https://github.com/rogerdudler/terrific-micro" rel="nofollow ugc">Roger Dudler’s Terrific micro</a>. 
Views as well as partials were removed from the integration, use WordPress functionality (templates/template parts) instead.
<h3>Features</h3>
<ul>
<li>Create a new theme or add a structure to your active theme to be able to use Terrific micro in your project</li>
<li>Provides you the option to cache and minify the concatenated styles and scripts for production use</li>
<li>Provides an interface to create new modules and skins based on file templates</li>
<li>Inspect mode to get an overview of the modules on a page</li>
<li>Option to use WordPress’ own jQuery</li>
</ul>
<h3>Usage</h3>
You can render a module in your template files using the ‘module’-function, e.g.:
<pre><code><?php module('TeaserBox'); ?>
</code></pre>
You can provide more parameters to the function to control the output:
<pre><code>module(Module Name, Module Template Name (optional, default: null), Skin Name (optional, default: null), Additional Attributes (optional, default: array()))
</code></pre>
As this function is part of Terrific micro, you’ll find a more detailed description <a href="https://github.com/rogerdudler/terrific-micro" rel="nofollow ugc">on Github</a>.
You can flush the Terrific cache manually as well as start the inspect mode via the admin bar (see screenshot).
The plugin automatically includes WordPress’ own jQuery version as the first script file. You can disable this option in the admin page and include your own jQuery or Zepto version in the assets.json as usual.
There’s not much to know about the integration, I recommend you to let the plugin create a new theme to get an idea on how things could be done. If you have problems using Terrific, check out <a href="http://terrifically.org" rel="nofollow ugc">terrifically.org</a>, the <a href="https://github.com/rogerdudler/terrific-micro" rel="nofollow ugc">Terrific micro github page</a> and the <a href="https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/terrific-frontend" rel="nofollow ugc">Terrific google group</a>.
