Link: Did Jaiku just become a sacrifical lamb for the GPhone? | :Ben Metcalfe Blog
Did Google buy Jaiku for it's engineering talent rather than for the product? I'm betting the engineering team is going to be siphoned off into the GPhone project.
Liked this perspective from Ben Metcalfe.
He finishes his post thus:
If I was Ev Williams and Biz Stone [of Twitter] I'd be popping the champaign today as that's a major competitor out of the game. Meanwhile a smart cookie in the development scene could easily crack on with a son-of-Jaiku to take the place of what Jaiku could, and should, have become.
There's always Mobiluck, you know...
