Google Did NOT Get Second Best

Oct 10 2007 Comments

This is my opinion on the entire Google snatching up Jaiku debacle:

I consider Jaiku to be the better of the two, regardless of the popularity. It’s better. That’s a fact and there’s no denying it. It has a very loyal fanbase too. So Google isn’t missing out on much at all. There’s too much work that still needs to be put into Twitter. Whereas, the focus of the debates against Jaiku seem to be entirely on how many people are using it versus how many people are using Twitter. Google has a very large and loyal fanbase. Many people are going to hop on it when it becomes publicly available again. Fewer things need to be done to Jaiku than to Twitter. I agree with their choice, and no it’s not because I’m a Jaiku user. It’s because it’s the more logical one (imo).

  • You definitely have a point there. I just feel Jaiku is a great competitor to twitter and definitely not second best or second rate. And what's so wrong with being second best even though it is the first loser lol
  • there are definitely more features that jaiku have had rolling for a while. that said, there is a great sense of simplicity at twitter that i prefer.

    a big draw is also the popularity. i've been using twitter longer and there are many more others using it compared to jaiku.

    plus we can't deny the biggest reason twitter is winning: you can say it to people without having to spell it. pownce???
