the current state of jaiku does disappoint me a little – but i still use it every day – i still have it running on my phone every single day, my friends here (helsinki) use it every day – i name all the cells the app goes near in places that i frequent. thats the thing here that will keep me from leaving jaiku – the location feature. the app is just fantastic beyond belief. its that technology that will end up no doubt in some future address book app in android.

but as a friend said, the last three months doesnt concern me that much, its what happens over the next three months (after the team have settled into moving to san fran / london and gotten over the disruption of xmas / new years). im probably cutting them some slack though – ive been using it now for 18months.

to be honest i dont think the service has degraded to such a level that would warrant it being described as “really awful”.

Conor mentioned Pownce (half-jokingly) a few days back as an alternative – maybe he was showing off that he had lots of invites The posting of feeds into ones Jaiku stream was a neat feature that I’d just started to use so I can see where Pownce might fit in – at least from the front page pitch.

While there is an opportunity, I’d be wary of [doing] a Jaiku clone appealing as it would seem.

I do wonder. There is definitely an opportunity there now.

So, what do you think the replacement to Jaiku will be? I’ve to be a big fan of it and don’t think I’d be content on Twitter.

Makes me think again how much more appealing acquisition by Yahoo! would be compared to acquisition by Google.

*Cough* Well, its good to think these things through. Beforehand. Just in case, like.
