Jaiku, Twitter, Google and the Future…

Monday, October 22nd, 2007

 So, has everyone heard of Jaiku and Twitter?

For those who haven’t these are posting sites which can be seen/sent via SMS (text messaging), Instant Message and on the online message boards. You can subscribe to certain people’s accounts to receive all of their posts via text message if you want! It is the very latest in blogging, and is being called microblogging.

Now for the kicker: Google just bought Jaiku! What does this mean to you? Well, it could mean that a lot more websites and web-based programs such as these mini-blogs will be viewed on phones. And there is also talk of a Gphone from Google. If you have ever had to work on optimizing someone’s (or your own) website for Google you know how obsessed you can get, and how important it starts to seem that you get a good page rank. Now we might have to worry about if the site is optimized to be viewed on a mobile device!
