Jaiku: a blog entry on reasons why it was fantastic


I've commented on this company before but having read this blog entry only now, it explains all the benefits of how useful it is. Forget about comparing Jaiku with Twitter (note: I've never tried Twitter but have read enough on it to know how it works and the concept behind it).

Tim O'Reilly, of internet fame, has written up a great write-up on his own blog under the title: I love my iPhone, but...bah, no Jaiku!.
This is the first time I've seen someone write on Jaiku and it's uses in how I've described (on this blog and in an Gtalk discussion with a friend recently :). His primary reason for the blog entry is due to his disappointment that he can't get it working on his iPhone, however he gives a great description of it's benefit.s He goes on to elaborate even more on the benefits of integration into address book and the like. For anyone interested, it's well worth the read.
All thoughts are welcome here also for anyone who's been lucky enough to try it out.

Note: Jaiku were bought out by Google recently and as part of it, they closed their service for the moment. For anyone interested, I have two spare accounts on Jaiku if you're interested in trying it out........ post on the comments or email me directly if you want to play with it. Note that they're under the username 'ntesting1' and 'ntesting2' (used from testing when I originally used the service in September '06) but you're more than welcome to use them.....
