nice
i love it
anyone know how to get moodblast to post to this ???....
Just another Twitter clone. That's nothing bad, except it just doesn't have the community size Twitter has. Certainly it's better than Plurk, but then so is tossing paper notes at people's heads.
Originally Jaiku looked to rule the roost. I think it's engine may outlive it's initially offered service as the functionality still supersedes that of the more popular Twitter.
I hate the karma feature in Plurk. I forget to update within 24 hours and it goes down. It's a bit discouraging, really. Too high-maintenance. However, I wish there was karma in Twitter. :P
It had a lot of similarities with twitters, since Google was behind it might be something. I'm using Plurk at http://www.plurk.com because I can post it on twitter and simultaneously friendfeed, facebook and friendster at the same time. I'm also starting to use Jaiku.
It's better than twitter.. but my friends are on twitter so..
Terrible shame that google and twitter double teamed it to death.
I like how it looks. But one bad thing is that it has always had one error since i signed up. I am still waiting to upload a background pic.
I'm not sure about this micro-blogging site, just trying it.
Seems like it's pretty cool, but there's no need for it since Twitter has such a larger user base.
Sounds good, and works okay, but not nearly the critical mass of Twitter.
Google has announced plans to close, stop development of, or dramatically alter a number of services including Google Video, Google Notebook, Google Catalog Search, Jaiku, Dodgeball, and Google Mashup Editor.
Great social network site
