Jaiku's lifestreaming capability is excellent. It is useful that all your feeds can appear in one place is such an elegant manner. The word balloons, interactivity and the design in appealing. I guess it is web 2.0 eye candy. But what the heck, I could fully customise the colour palette so that it would match my web site. I could also cram it into my narrow sidebar by reducing the width. It sits there looking inviting. It does act like a "What's New?" The Twitter badges look ugly in comparison. I need to add a few more streams to the Jaiku. Sure Twitter is more popular and it serves that purpose. It even survived some rough patches this year. But Jaiku is a very different beast for me. It is my little lifestreaming window. Cheers, John Kevin, you are welcome. Jaiku’s lifestreaming capability is excellent. It is useful that all your feeds can appear in one place is such an elegant manner.

Jaiku held so much promise; I certainly love the features it had, including the built-in lifestreaming capability. I guess twitter is still the most predominent microblogging tool around, it gained traction with the American microcelebs and it was simply the power of network effect from there.
