In short,
Jaiku is a microblogging service which allows users to post thoughts like how one would do so on a blog, but in a much shorter form. Grammer and sentence structure have no place in Jaiku, or
Twitter (a similar service) for that matter, as the posts are totally random.
As Caroline McCarthy of News.com described Twitter, "the beauty of Twitter is that, unlike a full-out blog, there's no obligation to be philosophical, thought-provoking or grammatically sound. Because it doesn't require that kind of extra effort, it's great for people like me who want to jump on the social-media bandwagon but don't have the time to set up something elaborate on WordPress".
According to Nokia, there are currently more than 1 million registered users on
Widsets and this is compatible on more than 300 mobile devices. Users can now download Jaiku as a widget on Widset.
