Integrating Twitter and Jaiku

Update: seems like I’m not the only person who prefers Jaiku. [nb: Jyri Engestrom spoke at NMK Forum in June. We always knew he was destined for big things.]

birdJaiku is nicer-looking and more functional than Twitter, and has a kick-ass mobile app for series 60 Nokia phones. However, I have about 3 Jaiku pals and 50 Twitter pals. So do I:

(a) Use Twitku to post messages to both simultaneously? (- crap mobile version)

(b) Use TwitterFeed to post my Jaikus to Twitter, then import my twitter friends’ feed to Jaiku? (- lots of lag between updates, not sure if this might result in some sort of infinite loop and hole in space/time continuum as my friends’ tweets get reposted onto twitter by me then gathered up again by Jaiku)

(c) Give in and stick with Twitter? (- but I want pretty)

(d) Stop wasting time and get on with some work…

Anyone got a clever solution to this that I haven’t come across?

    ditch jaiku. like you i love the jaiku interface, but it has no momentum amongst my people. twitter is where the party is.

    Will, you *were* probably right. Now, you might be wrong. Dearly hope that Jaiku can cope with the scaling more elegantly than Twitter didn’t manage to, and that there isn’t the lockout that have followed some google acquisitions like writely and dodgeball.
