Jaiku’s goal is to bring people closer together by enabling them to have conversations. It offers a way to connect with the people you care about by sharing updates with them on the Web, IM, and SMS – as well as through third-party applications built by other developers using the JaikuAPI.

Jaiku is a part of Google. The service is maintained by volunteer Google engineers on their spare time.

On the Google Code Blog, Vic Gundora, VP of Engineering, wrote: “With the open source Jaiku Engine project, organizations, groups and individuals will be able to roll-their-own microblogging services and deploy them on Google App Engine. The new Jaiku Engine will include support for OAuth, and we’re excited about developers using this proven code as a starting point in creating a freely available and federated, open source microblogging platform” There has been much interest in decentralized microblogging over the past year, due mostly to the work done by Evan Prodromou with his Laconi.ca software. In addition, there’s the OpenMicroblogging specification which allows different microblogging services to communitcate with each other. With Jaiku going open source, it is very likely that we could see a developer make it compatible with the OpenMicroblogging specification. Time will tell.
