WikiPedia on MicroContent
Stephan Mosel created an entry on MicroContent in WikiPedia. I think it is to early to do this, maybe in 5 years time the definition is stable enough. See also the definition on web 2.0. So now you have to fill it Stephan.

I read on “Minding the Planet” http://novaspivack.typepad.com/nova_spivacks_weblog/2003/12/defining_microc.html
That
Microcontent is “small content.” That is, small, granular pieces of content, each with an unique identity and URI, that may be published, subscribed to, and linked across the network.
Long ago, while I was learning Hebrew Literature at the University, I came across the
Aarne-Thompson Index of “Motifs”. http://www.gwu.edu/~folktale/GERM232/bearskin/web pages/StructuralAnalysis.html
A motif may be an action, an item, a character, or even a direct quote from the book. However, whatever that motif is, Aarne and Thompson have identified it as an improtant characteristic of at least one folk tale. Their method involves comparing the motifs present in the stories. Stories that have many of the same motifs are then classified as related and given a number.
This idea of taking the smallest unit of an idea fascinated me ever since and the result is QTSaver, which arranges the same web motifs according to different needs.
