Check out 606Tech’s Jaiku interview, written by Kirsten Nicole. Fascinating. It’s definitely worth a read.
Our general aim is to bring people closer together by enabling them to share their presence (what they’re doing, how they’re feeling, where they’re going). Jyri calls this social peripheral vision: the ability to have your finger on the pulse of your friends, family, and colleagues. Once you know what the people you care about are up to, you notice opportunities for social interaction that you would probably otherwise miss. Even just the simple knowledge that your loved ones are ok can have a lot of emotional value in an increasingly unstable world.
Jaiku is, I reckon, fast becoming one of my must-have applications, alongside the likes of ShoZu.
