I hope that Twitter adds it, or else, we'll stream the rss-feeds to Jaiku.

It's fun and highly addictive, but nothing I plan to use to take over the world.

It certainly inspired some future topics! I have no clear answer on the Jaiku/Twitter choice. Go where you think you can get the greatest benefits, not necessarily the most features!

It's a community page in a way, that right now it subscribes to those two RSS feeds I mentioned, but also any user can write a message, "jaiku" or "tweet" there. It's a bit like the techiteasy account we have on del.icio.us, only that it's not a hack. I've no idea what the function really is. The Jaiku people don't have that much documentation up. Basically they just a had a news item that "Hey, Channels are in beta and they're cool. Try them out." I'd expect Twitter would implement something alike in a near future.

I think I'm spread too thin already with all these last.fm's, linkedins and whatnots. As I wrote in a blog post here sometime ago, the power of Twitter is its simplicity. It's built around a neat, simple idea (what are you doing now?) and that's really refreshing when everyone else is building huge platforms (Facebook). Yet, this is so cool: http://jaiku.com/channel/techiteasy (it's like IRC, but on stereoids!) By RSS I mean that as far as I know, you can't add any other RSS-feeds into your "stream of consciousness" like in Jaiku (in above, the channel subscribes to this blog and on techiteasy-tag on del.icio.us). Totally off-topic and a strange stream of consciousness I probably should've written on Jaiku/Twitter but it's longer than 140 chars (maybe this should be on a Tumblr blog? aarrrggghh) Anyway, you know, I now started to think about this strange dichotomy between all services. Twitter vs Jaiku, GMail vs Hotmail, MSN vs Jabber, Reddit vs Digg, Myspace vs Facebook... where are the feasible third (or fourth) players? I'm tempted to blame the two-party system of US for this tendency. Odd, isn't it? Jeremy, I’ll try to avoid the dark side (Facebook and Twitter) as long as I can. I think I’m spread too thin already with all these last.fm’s, linkedins and whatnots.

I acknowledge Jaiku is slightly better than Twitter, but there's so much more people on the latter. Come on Twitter!

I think it's the RSS feed-thingie that might the reason. Not only could I express my stream of consciousness, but the strange people who're oddly interested in my every-day internet life also see what links I've put to del.icio.us or pics to flickr and so on. What I also find interesting is how Jaiku is trying to reinvent IRC with it's new concept of Channels. Unfortunately Jaiku seems to share the problem of Jabber (vs. MSN), no-one's on it =) I find myself oddly drawn to Jaiku instead. I think it’s the RSS feed-thingie that might the reason.
