Jaiku is now open source

Jyri Engeström wrote a blog post about open sourcing Jaiku. This is interesting news, since Twitter is right now the hottest thing going in the web, and Jaiku is the second best microblogging platform available.

Jaiku resides now in Google Cloud. Anyone can now set up and run their own JaikuEngine instance on Google App Engine. Hopefully the developer community takes it as their own and starts to develop Jaiku like crazy. There's certainly a lot of stuff they could do to make it even better and more diverse. And I wouldn't be surprised if some startups find a new way to use microblogging as part of their offering. My own Ghobee could be one of them.

Good stuff.
