I saw Jyri talk in London last week, such a smart, likeable guy. This is great news - let's hope Google is good to them!!

Given there's a native Jaiku client on Symbian Series60 (runs great on my N95), I would expect first-class integration on GPhone to be pretty much a sure thing.

I knew you would be excited by this. Maybe I should check it out?

Oh man another bites the dust. Google will end up stripping it down, slapping the Google brand on it and add a huge banner ad on top of it.
On the brighter side it's really good news for the makers of Jaiku. CHA-Ching

Anthony, its open, or at least it always was before.And I see nothing that says otherwise. I'll see you there.

Well, shut my mouth. Anthony, your invite is on the way.
Wow. Wonder if this will have some integration w/ Orkut.
Hey Mark, if you don't mind... can I get one of those invites too? Thanks much

Hey Dave - just drop me an email, and I'll send one over (probably tomorrow morning).

There are already rumors starting that Yahoo is going to buy Twitter now. Although I still think that Twitter is a better service, Jaiku would be much easier to monetize with Google Ads, there are more people that actually visit the website, with Twitter most people just use their phone, that's a little bit harder to monetize.

I signed up for Writely, and Google bought them. I signed up for GrandCentral, and Google bought them. I signed up for Jaiku, and Google bought them. I see a pattern developing here. If anyone has a web service that they'd like to sell to Google, let me know. I'd be happy to join up for a small commission. :-)

@Michael - agreed about Twitter. Twitter took on a whole new life for me once I got my iPhone. Plus between Twitter's Mobile versions, its variants (Hahlo, Pockettweets, Thincloud, etc) and Twitterific on the desktop (for OSX) there are alot of options to sending 'Tweets. I rarely, if ever go to twitter.com.

Man.. I haven't actually used my Jaiku in months... It was just getting too much to update everything and they still don't have a US shortcode like Twitter does.
Plus, it doesn't have the cool API apps like Twitter does.

Yeah.... I saw this earlier and was like "cool for them!" I still like Jaiku the best over twitter and pownce. I rarely post to pownce. I post to both twitter & jaiku @ once using imified (which I love) because it's not all the same contacts/friends in my case. Kudos to Jaiku on this google thing.

Adam,
That's not necessarily true. For example, Jaiku already has penetration in the WordPress community due to two plug-ins which use Jaiku's API. You can both display and post directly from or to Jaiku using those plug-ins.
Leo's 'Content Stream' in his right sidebar here on Life of Leo also makes use of the API (though, for some reason I can't see his Jaikus on my end). This is a Flash example of displaying your Jaikus through the API.
Search for WordPress plug-ins created by Douglas Karr, and Rick Measham -- both of which offer a great system. Rick's appears to support location, but Doug's supports Cache (which is a good thing).
And now that Google acquired them -- I'm sure we'll see additional development pop in some interesting ways.

Oh sure. That worked well with dodgeball, huh? /sarcasm

I still have 4 invites left, folks :) So feel free to drop me a line, I don't mind.
I don't know, Dave. I heard MS bought Dodgeball, and they couldn't necessarily figure out where the synergy was... And then Ballmer just jumped up and down, throwing balls everywhere, screaming very loudly.
