Google bought Jaiku...

LINK TO BLOG POST ABOUT ACQUISITION

Why is this important?
This may change my opinion on mini-blogging sites. I haven't done a comparison of the major mini-blogging sites in this blog (Twitter, Pownce, Tumbler, Jaiku), but I am signed up for all four of them and have been trying them out. Here's an article with a side by side comparison.

I did have a post on how everyone should use Twitter. You can even follow villager with wheel on Twitter.

But, I love Google. I try to use everything Google. I am a Google fanboy (as if that wasn't obvious by my last two statements). I don't care that they have and will have years of info on me.

So, now I have to seriously consider Jaiku as my main mini-blogging tool.
But, I have feeds from my favorite blogs in Twitter. I can automatically update my facebook status via Twitter. There are Twitter Firefox extensions (TwitterFox, TwitBin). There are many other uses and tools...

There are ways to update all four of the previously mentioned mini-blogging sites, example in this LINK, but Twitter is the key to making that happen.


I actually saw the news about Google buying Jaiku in my Twitter feed...how ironic...Google is complicating my life....I am perplexed...

Hopefully, this isn't an acquisition that Google ignores. They could seriously blow Twitter away with some key integration to gmail, gcal, gtalk, etc...


P.S. Sorry for the link overload.
