Google Buys Jaiku, Presence And Status App For Mobile Phones
When I wrote about phone address book a while ago I did not know about Jaiku, an address book utility company. I read today at ComputerWorld that Google has bought them. Jaiku provides peresence information right inside the address book, allows you to text updates to Jaiku and follow your contacts and channels on the go. This sounds like a better twist on Twitter with more features. Another advantage is that it is a full application with api for 3rd party apps. On the down side this is something limited to certain handsets. Here’s more from Jaiku site:
Jaiku’s main goal is to bring people closer together by enabling them to share their activity streams. An activity stream is a log of everyday things as they happen: your status messages, recommendations, events you’re attending, photos you’ve taken - anything you post directly to Jaiku or add using Web feeds.
We’ve put in a special effort to create Jaiku Mobile, a live phonebook that displays the activity streams, availability, and location of your Jaiku contacts right in your phone contact list. We modestly believe it is the best solution out there for seeing what your friends are up to. Currently Jaiku Mobile is available for phones based on the Nokia S60 software platform.
The original announcement was at this Google blog.
