Jaiku (or Twitter) Are Not Just About Presence

Jaiku (my current favorite) or Twitter are about more than presence.

The Jaiku experience is like sitting in a cafe or bar, bantering with a collection of friends and strangers.

I don’t understand it, but It’s a lot of fun.

Extended family. It’s like meeting up in a hallway or yelling across cube walls.
