Google Purchases Jaiku
In a move that pretty much surprised me personally, but might make for some interesting waves, Jaiku announced at about 12noon EST that they had been purchased by Google.
Now, why post something like that here? The reason it has some significance is that MMM's blog is built using the Blogger platform, which is also Google owned. But the more far reaching reason is that if you already are using various other Google products, then chances are that you might find a solid use for a web service like Jaiku.
Jaiku is one part online community, another part RSS feed aggreator, and another part online presense service. If you will, adding any one of these elements to your church/org/small group's online presense might help to enhance your ability to gather, search, and maintain content.
Of course, there's also the chance for doing a virtual meetup via Jaiku, so that too tickles my fancy.
