You can tick your choice here! Thank you.

Twitter has lot of hiccups these days, and I was wondering why all the folks use Twitter as (only) micro-blogging service when there’s plenty of them out there. These days I was giving away some invites for Jaiku, as I am Jaiku user since July 2007. Jaiku has  interesting history: it was founded in February 2006, based in Helsinki, Finland as micro-blogging , social-networking service. Then was launched in July same year and purchased by Google in October last year. Jaiku founders came up with the name Jaiku because the posts on Jaiku resemble Japanese haikus.

Jaiku’s main goal is to bring people closer together by enabling them to share their activity streams. An activity stream is a log of everyday things as they happen: your status messages, recommendations, events you’re attending, photos you’ve taken - anything you post directly to Jaiku or add using Web feeds.

One of the reasons I love Jaiku is there alive and kicking when Twitter is down: like this evening Twitter was blocked, according to some Twitterers, because of Euro Football Championship (Manchester United, again:) ), and while they were cursing the Twitter for the X time - some of the folks and I had phun at Jaiku.

Moi @ Jaiku.

Month of May, month of May -everything is lovely and gay. Culture in Serbia is meeting cold turkey (heard today one landed in Belgrade right from Ireland?!?) and more in preEuroTrash called Eurovision (contest for the best EuroSong). It’s not the fact that the official web site for Eurovision Belgrade 2008 is quite hideous but also the words of ignorance I came across yesterday of P. Schofield (British Broadcasting Corporation) at this Facebook group, where the creator is contemplating EuroSong contest “in Elbonia or wherever it is this year” (even more hideous for someone working in media, no?). Anyway, as I’ve missed this years Belgrade’s Design Week and lectures I wanted to attend ( Ascan Mergenthaler, CH, Herzog & de Meuron - Flowing into Landscape and Daniel Libeskind, US, The Architecture of Memories). But, what I won’t miss is the 5th Museum night (last year was organized through whole Serbia, and this year will be the same) and early drawings of Picasso, Air and Space Museum, History of computers exhibition, video installation, computer animation in Jewish Museum, Italian design in Superspace, Museum of Science&Technology and many other places through the city. Over 63 spots on May 17th from 6pm until the dawn, check the program and enjoy! I’m coming to take you to the Museum: )

TwitterFone is new private beta service that converts voice to text and then posts it to Twitter in text and audio format. If you want to use it and spare your time, while on go or being busy, you need to verify your phone number with Twitter account. Then, TwitterFone will give you a local phone number to call (in my case is UK) to leave audio message. You have to speak clearly after the beep, then hangup: the audio message you send will be transcribed and then posted to Twitter along with a link to the recording. As you’re limited to 140 characters on Twitter, TwitterFone gives you time limit of 15 seconds on the recording. The service supports English only and is free for now. Users comments here, and this is my test message/tweet.
