Abstract

The present disclosure relates to a system for displaying micro-blog messages, which includes: when the users look up the list roster, the micro-blog terminal sends an obtaining request to the micro-blog server, receives and display the list roster fed back by the micro-blog server; when any one of the micro-blog list is selected from the list roster, the micro-blog terminal writes a name of the chosen micro-blog list into a new displaying page, and sending a message list request to the micro-blog server; the micro-blog terminal receives the message list of the chosen micro-blog list that is fed back from the micro-blog server, and displaying the message list of the chosen micro-blog list on the new message displaying page. It is disclosed a micro-blog terminal, server thereof.

Claims
