Jaiku so much better than Twitter
April 9, 2007
I have no idea why Twitter is so popular! Jaiku is so much easier to use and provides so many more options. Here’s a comparison of the two, from what I’ve seen with them both:
- Sending an update via SMS works with Jaiku, but not Twitter (it doesn’t seem to recognized mobiles from Australia)
- The option to update Twitter via IM doesn’t work with Live Journal.
- Jaiku provides the ability to also include updates from a variety of sources, including your blogs, and Flickr
- With every feature / setting in Jaiku it worked every time, whereas with Twitter I’ve gone around and around in loops trying to make things work, and still had no success.
- The only thing that Jaiku doesn’t yet have is the ability to email a posting. Posting is done via the web interface is via SMS.
Jaiku just works! And it works well!
Update: I did get Twitter working with IM and SMS eventually, but I still prefer Jaiku, because of the way that it can combine multiple sources.
