I stumbled acorss microblogging a while back, and just recently I decided that I would take the plunge and start microblogging myself.

As for which tool I would use, the answer was obvious; twitter. I mean, if it is good enough for Cali Lewis (Geek Brief), then it’s good enough for me. So, I downloaded twitteriffic, and started doing it.

All was going well, in the sense that it was all working, not because I was actually posting that much, when I was told about Jaiku which Leo Laporte uses.

OK, so I’ve now created a jaiku account, and it does seem to have a few more interesting features. I like the idea that you can add Feeds into your stream. In theory, this could mean that it could become kind of like a micro portal of everything I do online; flickr, blog posts, etc…

Jaiku also has a nice phone app, that works just dandy on my Nokia N73, and you can, of course access it via a mobile brower.

I like the idea of having someone what is just the consolidation of everything I do…. but then again, perhaps that should just be a normal blog ? — nah, microblogging is much better(?) – I mean surely people are interested in the fact that I’m buying a pint of milk?!
