Jaiku
Jaiku is all about your web presence. Actually it does, more or less, the same thing Twitter does.
Jaiku looks more polished, the design is very much “Skype like” and it allows you to customize the entries on your “presence stream” with little icons on the side. It also allows comments on the entries (something that Twitter doesn’t do). The best part is that you can also import your blog feeds (or other rss feeds), photos from Flickr and bookmarks creating this way a unified personal information site or, in another words, all the noise you make concentrated in one spot.
Unfortunately it lacks on very important feature that Twitter has which is the integration with IM clients. Sending a quick message through your IM client to Twitter and being notified of changes is IMHO the something urgent to include on Jaiku.
Looks good so far but there’s still room for improvement. As for me I’m gonna start inviting people š

O hictu.com, tambem parece estar nessa linha.
LOL 2 are enough!!!
Ricardo, thanks for blogging about Jaiku! And even more thanks for inviting new people š
Although I feel that that the two services will go to separate directions in the relatively near future (I love the way people are showing their Twitter feeds in Jaiku), you are absolutely right that we have to have the IM connectivity pretty soon. It is a natural extension to SMS and a great user interface for, for example, Jaiku’s comments. I can only assure that our huge R&D machine š is implementing IM support as we speak. Due to Christmas etc it will take some time to get it released, though.
People are emailing us / blogging about quite a few feature requests and ideas, which feels great every time – you are helping us to improve the service. Keep them coming! š
Pena o jaiku nao ter RSS para os contactos š
Petteri: Thanks for the comment! I was exporting my Twitter feed into Jaiku when I saw your comment! š What a coincidence! Jaiku is looking very good, you guys have done an excellent work, keep it going!
Thanks, have fun!
