Jaiku is red-hot. The technology is sooo solid, and is going to be hard to copy. Twitter may be a little easier to use on the web, but Jaiku’s mobile client is hands-down the most incredible mobile community app I’ve ever seen.

They’ve nailed it: finally managing to efficiently bring presence and community into my mobile’s hitherto-dead address book.

I can see this becoming a gargantuan success very, very quickly. Particularly in Europe, where consumers tend to be far more mobile-savvy than in the US.

Congratulations to the Finnish team on a very well-engineered and well-conceived product!

If anyone wants to try it, you can connect with me here.

Many British newspapers now allow readers to post their comments on the stories.

One of the interesting things about this is that often, the majority of comments are left by American, not British readers.

I’ve noticed it in many articles, including this one that was emailed to me today (a scary piece in The Times on a 102-year-old who qualified for a 25-year mortgage!).

I had no idea that the UK newspapers had such a strong US audience. Or is it that the Americans are just more willing to express themselves to strangers?
