New site launched

jaiku_site.jpgThe new site is out! It introduces a new language for communicating presence.

Presence is about everyday things as they happen - what you’re doing, how you’re feeling, where you’re going. We’re enabling people to connect with the others they care about by sharing presence updates on the Web and mobile.

Here’s what you can do on Jaiku:

1. Start a presence stream:

  • Post presence updates
  • Add icons to your messages
  • Set your location
  • Add your Web feeds

2. Add contacts, get their updates

  • Find your friends
  • Get an overview of their latest updates
  • Exchange comments

3. Use Jaiku from your phone:

  • Text presence updates from any phone
  • Or, download the new Jaiku Mobile to your Nokia S60 smartphone

Give it a spin and let us know what you think!

Service break due to upgrade tomorrow

We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. It’ll be worth the wait ;)
