Dr. Arnaud Leene has posted a document looking at the presence of microcontent in existing systems and a little about defining what it is. He leads with business cards as an example of microcontent in the real world. I’ve also been using that as an example for a number of years when talking to people face to face about the microcontent concept. It’s a good visual example and allows you to put something in peoples hands that represents the concept. Obviously microcontent on the web is a little bit different, but the concept is close enough to be useful. Arnaud then takes the concept and brings it back into the computer world to illustrate other places where Microcontent is already being used.
