    There's Tumblr, Jaiku, LiveJournal, 4chan...

    Or alternatively, you could do your own research.

    It's JoikuSpot, very interesting software that makes your 3G cell phone into a WLAN access point. JaikuSpot seems to be some kind of Twitter.

    And... After all these years, I would have thought that Slashdot editors would have learned to be editors.

    Quote from the Slashdot story: " After all, the new terms of service seems to limit applications such as SlingPlayer, Qik, Skype, and Jaikuspot, which many AT&T customers are currently using without issue."

  4. Jaiku? by GuldKalle · · Score: 1 · on Geomicroblogging, Buzzword or Reality?

    Isn't this more or less Jaiku? Except Jaiku has been in closed beta since forever, and has been more or less untouched since Google bought it.

    I call bull on this one. I had a Nokia N73 till recently-it's the best selling one out of their N-series range. It has a 1100 mAh battery, and despite having installed multiple apps - Shozu, a photosharing/uploading service, Jaiku, a much more fully featured micro-blog than Twitter, a call manager/SMS spam blocker (Advanced Call Manager form Webgate) and several more-apart from listening to one hour of MP3 music on the bus everyday- I have to charge it maybe once in 3 days. Symbian OS phones are the largest selling smartphones on the planet, look it up. All have had multitasking capabilities for YEARS now. It's the usual group-think that Apple can do no wrong, and that they know better than the end user what the phone should be used for. And for all those morons who say the iPhone firmware can be cracked, may i remind you that Nokia, Sony-Ericsson and Motorola offer all these capabilities OUT OF THE BOX, without having to mess with the firmware and void your warranty. Sure sucks to live in a neanderthal mobile market like the USA, though.

  6. Trivia about this unbricking by strredwolf · · Score: 1 · on New Firmware Fixes Previously Bricked iPhones

    The TUAW reader who got his iPhone unbricked? Perl guru Randall Schwartz. He posted the info on his Jaiku microblog.

    I also hear through Chicago Sun Times writer Andy Ihnatko that he's been able to unbrick a phone.

    I've used Jaiku. It's like a combination of Twitter and an aggregated feed publisher. You can register all your 'places' on the net, and it publishes a consolidated RSS feed about your activities. For example, you can add your del.icio.us bookmarks, your Flickr photo stream, your last.fm 'recently played' music, or any other feed (say from your blog), and any updates to any of these are published as one combined feed. You can add other Jaiku users as friends and view similar updates from them.
    They provide a mobile application (Nokia S60 3rd ed. is supported currently, don't know about others) that lets you publish messages like Twitter. This also integrates with the phonebook, so you can enter the Jaiku ID for your friends, and get an update of what they're doing. The mobile app only shows what updates your friends have made to Jaiku, i.e. it won't provide details of their other feeds.
    It's an interesting app, somewhat like Facebook's 'news' page, lets you publish minute by minute details of whatever you're doing-if you're so inclined. And of course, your Jaiku page is accessible by anyone, so much for privacy.
