You may not have heard of Jaiku, it is a microblogging platform similar to Twitter that was bought by Google. Lately a lot of folks have been crying because it’s been sitting there like a dead piece of wood rotting. This is somewhat typical of a Google purchase. They take awhile to get things moving along at a good pace. I remember back to when they purchased Measuremap and Writely both of those services were absorbed into the Google Cloud and we questioned them all the way. MeasureMap because part of Analytics essentially and Writely became the core of Google Docs.
I can only assume this is a similar path that Jaiku will take and the Jaiku team hints at a possible evolution over on their blog.
