Creating awareness through microblogging

« on: June 21, 2007, 01:22:49 PM »

For anyone that's not aware, Michael has been doing quite a bit of "microblogging" on both Twitter (mostly personal stuff) and Jaiku (mostly LiftPort stuff). He's even created a SpaceElevator channel on Jaiku. Michael's handle in Jaiku is SpaceElevatorGuy and in Twitter is mlaine.

Jaiku offers several really cool features, including the ability to:

create channels, as mentioned above
add RSS feeds (such as for this forum, the LiftPort blog, etc.) to your stream or channel
comment on posts made by other users (including those generated by pulled-in RSS feeds)
search for other users

Michael has added a number of LiftPort feeds to the Jaiku SpaceElevator channel to complement the Jaiku posts so you can see the latest goings-on from one easy location. The feeds so far include:

Michael's Flickr photos
LiftPort Blog Posts
LiftPort Blog Comments
LiftPort News
LiftPort Forums

Come join the Jaiku SpaceElevator channel and say hello. And spread the word Wink

I just read an article in Wired about how Twitter can create a "social sixth sense". Individual "tweets" are not necessarily very informative, but taken in the aggregate, tweets from your "friends" (people you "follow" in Twitter) can provide a larger sense of what is going on in their lives. Same goes for Jaiku and other similar tools. This is one reason I personally find these tools useful.
