JaikuEngine released as open source project

Jaiku is a competing well not really service to Twitter -- it's not nearly as popular, and that's the reason Google has decided to release it as an open source project for the community to develop. JaikuEngine -- the new open source project --is different from Jaiku...

Google drops Jaiku, can Nokia please pick it up and run with it?

Google finally ready to launch Jaiku on their platform

Jaiku is down, and according to jaikuinvites, it's because they have finally moved their system to the Google App Engine platform. There's no official word from Google about what's happening, but their website describes it as "server maintenance". If you're wondering what Jaiku is, you can...

Building Brand With Web 2.0 Tools

If you’re familiar with Twitter, you’ve probably figured out there’s some interesting things you can do with these types of SMS-based apps. If you’re a power Twitterer all of you know it’s way more than “what am I doing”. Jaiku’s the other one, and although essentially both provide the same...

NEXT09: deconstructing the enterprise gulf

Attending NEXT09 was a breath of fresh air for me. As seems to be the way, there's always a good showing by controversial polemicists. You won't for example get two more strident and different speakers than Jeff Jarvis and Andrew Keen. As an enterprisey guy, Keen's assessment...
