Google have acquires another good piece of the World Wide Web, Jaiku. Jaiku is just another microblogging platform just like twitter and pownce. Also, I have researched that Jaiku improves your search engine result when you include your feed and it will be listed at search engine.
Although they have pros and cons of their own, I am pretty happy with Jaiku because of its function and its simplicity. Jaiku will be strong and Google sees that. There is lots of potential from Jaiku and they have release their API, and I was expecting more useful functions available at Jaiku. Now that Google have acuires Jaiku, I hope that it does not delay the introduction of new and better function.
As you can see from the logo below, Google loves Jaiku which is obtain from Jaiku’s Google’s FAQ.
This was the email I received email and was pretty shock to see that it is sold so fast to Google. The content of the email:-
Wonderful Jaiku users,
Exciting news, Jaiku is joining Google!
While its too soon to comment on specific plans, we look forward to working with our new friends at Google over the coming months to expand in ways we hope you’ll find interesting and useful. Our engineers are excited to be working together and enthusiastic developers lead to great innovation. We look forward to accomplishing great things together.
In order to focus on innovation instead of scaling, we have decided to close new user sign-ups for now. But fear not! All our Jaiku services will stay running the way you are used to and you will continue to be able to invite your friends to Jaiku.
We have put together a quick Q&A about the acquisition at http://jaiku.com/help/google
