Tumblr and Twitter let users post short text, images and links to a following feed.
Pinterest and Instagram centre on short visual posts, pins and images, shared with followers.
Statement 2 eBay is an online auction and shopping marketplace, not a microblogging platform.
Blogging carries long-form articles, while microblogging keeps each post very short.
