I know a guy who not only thought of the idea, but implemented it. He wrote a AIM to LiveJournal bot. You send it an instant message, and it would post to LiveJournal. I mean, he thought the idea was silly and not very useful, but it was an actual implementation of micro blogging before twitter arrived. I am certain there were other implementations that I don't know about.
