Twitter vs. Jaiku - and is “what we do?” the next big thing ?
12.14.2006 | Toothless Tiger
So lately I have been Jaiku’ing away on my lovely N70, I really enjoy it a lot.
yesterday I found out that I could add my Twitter RSS feedto my Jaiku account
So both my contacts in both communities are covered - excellent…
I don’t know which one I would choose - I think Jaiku has the biggest potential - while twitter has the biggest hype and community. Jaiku is more open though - and more fun.. Especially since I uninstalled their client from my mobile and just sms my presence in…
But this could be the next big thing to blogging - actually I think it is…”what we do, thought in our heads -instant messages that people can’t stop reading because they are sms’ed to them instead of having them looked up on the internet or in a blog reader. Picture what you could use this for, in let’s say your microenvironment and establishing spontanious relations over mobile as well ? picture how attractive this is going to be to SPAM ?… but it’s so much more fun - I am enjoying it fully…

featurewise jaiku seems to have the edge, but there’s something about twitter’s minimalism that is appealing. plus, i can’t figure out if there’s a way to view someone else’s contacts on jaiku, whereas on twitter i can easily browse friends of friends of friends, etc.

I don’t think there’s a way to view someone else’s contacts on jaiku - which makes it not as “browsable” as twitter… I would even go as far as to claim that it is a limitation for the community… and community is what rocks for me.. and also why I use Jaiku a lot…

[...] as I have mentioned before, I am convinced that the future of communities beholds applications such as Twitter and Jaiku. And I am still the biggest jaiku fan - even though I want to push the guys behind jaiku to get something going on those sms’es - and get it going quick… adding a twitter function to jaiku will definetly have the much needed community coming that I feel that is currently the biggest obstacle of Jaiku. Twitter in the other way - is a cool application, but to me it has proven to be very unreliable. [...]

I have no idea what twitter or jaiku is
It is like a disorienting jargon
it captivates and swallows me
