Reading Time: < 1 minute Jaiku is up and running once more, from the google servers and it’s faster. It’s also lost no features. In fact it’s gained one thing which will make some you happy. All those who already have unlimited invites so if you’re interested in trying Jaiku from it’s servers, send me a message by e-mail or…
Reading Time: < 1 minute Jaiku is about as old as twitter but rather than expand and get two million users it was bought by google some months ago.

Reading Time: < 1 minute There’s so much hype about friendfeed because of it’s features but that’s something jaiku has been doing for months and months now.

It’s a GPS, web streaming camera, time lapse camera, e-mail and web browser among other things….
Reading Time: < 1 minute The Twitterstorm is a description of an event where hundreds of 140 character messages are sent at the same time.

Reading Time: 2 minutes A journalism student at the University of Westminster worked on an item about addiction to technology and this is quite an old item. In 1998 (if I remember correctly) I was speaking to a security guard in Martinique about the internet and he talked about it as if it was a disease as if it…
