Can I use microblog to make a book format like this subdomain??

  Think for a minute about the words “microblog” — a twitter-like presentation format limiting individual content chunks to a few sentences in length — and “book”, a longform collection of prose typically running tens of thousands of words in length.

    truth - but the book they wrote is so clean and nicely organized.

    That's fine - there are books of pithy aphorisms too.

    The underlying platform of Micro.blog, the specific service sotu was asking about, is built on Hugo. If you make a Twitter-sized post, it will show up just like it would on Twitter or Mastodon or another microblogging platform; if you make a long post, you'll get a field to add a title, too, and when you read it on the timeline (and when it gets crossposted to Twitter, if you have that enabled), you'll just see the title and a link to the longer post. I don't know how Manton made that site, specifically, but focusing too much on the terminology here may lead you astray a little in this context. :)
