Google Acquires Jaiku

Jaiku GoogleGoogle is acquiring Jaiku!! As set forth on the Jaiku blog, Google has acquired Jaiku and integration efforts are beginning immediately. While they have declined to state what these engineering efforts will entail, I can’t wait to see the outcome.

Jaiku, like Twitter, is a microblogging platform. Jaiku advertises itself as an activity stream and presence sharing service. I have used both Jaiku and Twitter and must admit that I like Jaiku better than Twitter. However, I have more friends on Twitter so I tend to do more tweeting.

Jaiku has halted sending out new invitations, but existing members can still send out new invitations. If you would like one, please send me an email. Otherwise you can apply for an invitation here.

I have been trying to get a Jaiku invite for weeks now. If you’d send me one, I promise to pass on the rest immediately.
