  From what I can see most (but not all) people are using the same names they have on Twitter. Jaiku profile URL format is username.jaiku.com rather than Twitter's twitter.com/username. Visit the profile page and click the link in their title bar - tedious but it works.

  Have to agree with you there and also that Scoble comment thread grew very quickly, demonstrating an active and engaged community.

  Comment from sconsult on OK so I just re-looked at Friendfeed, and it is so fast that it is just stunning. I had no idea how slow Jaiku was by comparison by 1 year, 1 month ago

  Scoble has been pushing FF very hard and in the process has managed to pull in a large number of the high-profile active Twitter users. On the other hand I have seen several comments from SF-based tech-savvy users that FF = info overload if you follow more than 10 people or so.

  @beng Yes that does make sense. Thanks for sharing your thoughts. @smurph Jaiku was around long before FriendFeed - rather ironically at the time Jaiku was created the creators of FF would have been working for Google.

  @dewaldp That would be my guess at the moment too - they have huge first mover advantage at the moment - http://siteanalytics.compete.com/twitter.com+pownce.com+jaiku.com+friendfeed.com/?metric=uv

  @beng I see that you are on Twitter as well - which one do you prefer when they are both working correctly?

  Yes, that is my understanding too. If that is wrong hopefully one of the experienced Jaiku hands (what do Jaiku users like to call themselves?) will correct us.

  I am certainly not writing Jaiku off - it has been an enjoyable experience so far. However, the news flow is one of the best bits about Twitter. That said, if Twitter cannot master its scaling issues the news flow will fail anyway.

  The user interface is sharper, the comments system is a great feature. However, there is just "something" missing - the immediacy of Twitter? Perhaps that will change with more experience of Jaiku.

  Thanks. It is certainly very different to Twitter.
