Interesting - there appears to be *two* definitions of the term floating
about...

* 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

* 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
