  • The End of Jaiku?

    Posted on Jan. 9, 2008 at 18:38 +0100 Tagged with , ,

    ars technica today had an article about a whole lot of people leaving the locked down Jaiku and moving over to Twitter because of the instability of the service and missing contact with the developers. It's just funny because Michael and I were just talking about what happened to Jaiku right before I read this article :-)

    Right when I first heard about Jaiku, I really liked it esp. because of the whole channel idea which simply made it more than just a Twitter-clone, but after Google bought them and made the whole service invite-only, nothing really happened there anymore, as far as I can tell. No new post on the blog, not a single message on the jaiku-feed. It's really sad :-( I guess sometimes now being bought by Google is a good thing.

    Update: Seems like the folks over at Jaiku are still allive :-)

  • Jaiku acquired by Google

    Now this is strange. I would have expected Nokia to buy them, but Google? Perhaps Twitter was not for sale, although I also didn't notice that Jaiku was. Anyway, it seems like this is one of those acquisitions where the buyer more or less locks the site down to integrate it completely into its own infrastructure (Writely anyone?).

    Famous podcaster Leo Laporte yesterday announced that he would no longer use Twitter but move to their Finnish competitor Jaiku. Ok ... but he also wrote:

    In truth, it offers a much richer set of features than Twitter.
