Jaiku is a microblogging tool similar to Twitter, which was recently purchased by Google, positioning it well for future growth. While it does have the 140-character limit that most microblogging tools have, it offers other features that make it attractive to users.
Jaiku offers threaded messaging and threaded comments functionality (other microblogging tools offer no threading or threading of messages only). Additionally, users can create smaller "channels" to separate conversations, and mobile and third-party applications are available.
Jaiku is picking up steam in terms of interest, particularly with Google behind it, and more users are jumping on board to try it out. Once users try Jaiku, they are typically impressed with the features it offers. It's a great tool to promote your blog and network with other people.
