I always thought Nokia will be the one to acquire Jaiku. After all, it is one of the most popular Symbian S60 apps today. Not to mention that like Nokia, Jaiku is also based in Finland (if that actually counts). I guess I was either wrong, or the Finish giant came to late…
Now, we have Google acquiring the popular “activity stream and presence sharing service that works from the Web and mobile phones.” Apparently, this is the area where Google can add a lot of value for users… and bundle some ads on top of it, I might add. In addition, I could easily envision Google jumping in the whole micro-blogging craze…
Anyway, Jaiku team has prepared the short FAQ for current users regarding acquisitions, and they will continue to provide support for their users on the #jaiku channel… Check out the official post on Jaiku’s blog.

Dusan Belic
Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
