I wish there'd be more communication regarding what is happening with the upcoming plans. I noticed that @jyri seemed to be more active for a few days after the announcement but seems to have been quieter since then.
great, that means when @jyri (or who ever) gets in later today (morning US time), there will be another flood of Testing messages as Jaiku's are not getting through
kind of like identi.ca. there are many installations of identi.ca software and in such cases, the communities become important and the software takes a back seat.
@munkimatt: That's the point of open sourcing it. We well see how many different Jaikus we get, and the guys running it will find out how much effort it goes into sustaining it.
and how much it costs! I impression is that the SMS fees are what kill this type of thing more than the servers, bandwidth etc. Interesting interview about the early days of Jaiku with Petteri here: http://www.tiburon-tv.com/2009/01/22/petteri-koponen-–-jaiku-microblogging-pioneer-slush/
have to agree, once code base becomes OpenSource (with federation?) then a more reliable option can be implemented.
Potentially then drop the things you don't want or need from the selection of
web interface
mobile web
IM
full mobile client via ?
SMS
Then watch the sparks fly as everyone realises what a bag of uselessness Twitter (and it's opensource clone identi.ca) really are and that threads and channels are the way forward.
IM would probably be essential for a lot of people, but there's no reason why if some one needs it they couldn't have it... they didn't say when they're opensourcing it, did they. sigh.
in this thread@jyri says "late in the spring", but as it is now a 20% project that could well slip.
@jyri has given quite alot of information between the last couple of blog posts and comments on threads recently (some of those threads were on #jaiku)
@jj1980: Would prefer to be asleep TBH! But positives are I had a good breakfast and have 6 hours extra to catchup on Greader and blogging and then of course some PS3 action!
It's weird; I almost never get the bird. Perhaps it has something to do with pretty much using Jaikungfu all day, rather than loading the entire page? Or maybe it's proximity to the Googleplex :)

I wonder if the Jaiku Team have used up there 20% of time and we might need to wait till the end of the month before they can do anything?
10 months ago by gerrymoth
is anyone working on this? I think from past 8 hours I think ITS NOT WORKING
10 months ago by arjun
i have no idea about how this sort of thing works, but when we get the source code couldn't we make a "new" Jaiku? Jaik2.com?
