James writes about the difference between Jaiku and Twitter:
I actually registered for Jaiku last year but soon gave it up for the busier Twitter. That’s the argument Robert Scoble makes in favour of the latter – that community (and simplicity) wins. He might be right…
I reckon that Twitter is just a better name than Jaiku. It’s a name that’s a lot more likely to be adopted because it got an onomatopoeic quality (No, it’s not the right word but it’s as close as my tired mind will find tonight.)
I kinda want a Twitter-like service but I want it to set my iChat/MSN status as well. And I want it to be set-able from my phone so that when I choose “Meeting” on my phone, all of my communications services also change to “Meeting”.
Where’s the Web 2.0 companies springing out of nowhere to create that, eh?
