MicroContent

In general, the smallest pieces of content - a simple link, text, an image, audio, video, a piece of metadata like author, title, etc, the subject line of an email, an item in an RSS feed.

MicroContent is a ContentElement when it is the sole content of a ContentBlock.

EricScheid? says there appear to be two definitions of the term floating
about.

1. Jakob Nielsen's

• short text fragments which lead to larger content
• link titles, domain names, email subject lines
• a word or two, running up to a dozen words maybe

2. micro-publishing

• standalone content pieces, usually of a short nature
• blog posts, wiki nodes, amazon reviews
• anything from a sentence up to a few hundred words
• note: not pieces of content, but content pieces
