Micro-Blogging
I don’t really like to publish articles related to micro-blogging on my weblog (wow, that was so Web 2.0). Still, I thought I should update my current status regarding these types of services.
I switched from the big-fat-whale-who-never-got-to-sea to Jaiku, and I’ve been a happy user of their service for a few weeks now. IM and SMS work flawlessly and I really like their interface for when I pay the site a visit. Jaiku also has a IRC feeling, because of the possibility to create channels (regular #channels) so that people interested in that topic can subscribe (join).
I’ll continue to use Jaiku, as long as the community keeps using it; these types of services are nothing without a community behind it. Leave a comment with your email if you want an invite.
The new kid in town is identi.ca, which was the creation of a very needed service of this kind. Bonus points for being free software, licensed under the GNU Affero GPL. For obvious reasons, I HAD to sign up for this one too. I’m sure, if things continue to improve like they have been, that identi.ca will provide a great service for everyone interested in micro-blogging. Actually, identi.ca is already a winner. Good job!
Matt Lee made a good comic explaining identi.ca and micro-blogging in general. Image.
So, if you want to read the regular rant about my job, what I’m having for dinner and allot more useless stuff, feel free to stalk me:

Hi, nice article.
“Leave a comment with your email if you want an invite.” - Could you please send me an invite? Please see my eMail in your backend or the imprint of my blog (”Impressum”). It has been filled into the comment.
