@ecomba, no federation (yet). But my main point is that I don't want Jaiku instances to compete with Twitter, I see them serving totally different functions: In my opinion Jaiku is a conversation platform, whereas Twitter is optimized for broadcasting thousands of viewpoints and adding better conversation support to Twitter would hinder that function.

@ecomba, Jaiku is open source, and you can run your own separate instances with your own modification, though in AppEngine only. Nothing of course stops to write an own database backend if someone wants to run it from own servers.

@adewale, I think the great old community is gone, unfortunately persuading people back is not way to go.
Instead, starting a few thematic Jaiku-clones for new audiences could be a great way to vitalize the platform. Pick a large enough topic (e.g. "cooking") and create a new modern discussion forum with Jaiku features for it.
-
But I've come to appreciate Twitter: the super-simple broadcasting aspect (which is not conversation by definition) and purely organic organization of messages by hashtags etc. is something fundamental for real-time news site of 21st century.
I've come to think Jaiku more as a (r)evolution of discussion forums, where as Twitter is something else.

Heh, sounds quite familiar:
You may also notice a new experimental feature called Updates that lets you communicate with friends and post messages. Start Latitude and click the "Updates" tab to shout out updates at friends when they're at interesting locations, start a conversation when you're at your favorite restaurant, or just add more details to your Latitude location for your friends to see. Your friends will also need to download this new version of Google Maps for Android in order to use this experimental Updates feature -- they will not get your messages otherwise.

I think urban sea-side cities like Helsinki and Stockholm should have a lively pedestrian sea-side boulevard with shops, cafes, restaurants, parks and boats and without any cars.
Järvenpää is beautiful in this regard, but it's only the park that they have succeeded. The park is great, almost zen like place sometimes.
In Helsinki, south coast is kind of great, but it too is designed for cruising Ferraris, not for pedestrians.
