This paper studies a new potential social communication phenomenon: social micro-blogging without the Internet. Social micro-blogs (called utterances) are assumed created on mobile devices and shared between peers using direct wireless transmission rather than using any network infrastructure. This combines two emerging issues: opportunistic networking architectures are making it possible to "store, carry and forward" such content while trends in social media and self expression such as micro-blogging have become increasingly popular.
