I have decided to move to http://identi.ca/fabsh fulltime. Follow me there for further updates. Sorry for the inconvenience!

I know it sucks and I love Jaiku, especially for the fact that I met so many cool people here and that it started Linux Outlaws. Still, I have decided that I need to unify to one microblog account to stay sane. Identi.ca is my choice because it's based on open source, it's open and federated and has a working Twitter-bridge solution. On top of that, Jaiku has been increasingly pissing me off. Since they were bought by Google, they have been treating their users like shit (their information policy has been a joke) and the service has been getting more and more unreliable. Believe me, I have tried to love it again, but I just don't believe in it's future. The open sourcing came about a year to late and I think Google and the original founders are not interested in the service anymore.
I enjoy the community and all the people I have met and talked to on here and I hope many you will follow me on identi.ca (many are already), but please understand that I don't want to waste my limited free time being on four services at once. So I am cutting down in an effort to regain time for the important things. If Jaiku had a working way to push updates in real-time to it, I would at least do that, but as it stands, the service is dead to me.
@fabsh: There's a lot of discussons going on in the Swedish part of Jaiku also about moving and now we have a good alerantive, Bloggy which is a Swedish developed microblogg. So I guess lots of us will moge onto there, and I will of course continue using Twitter as well. My own Jaiku aperence has gone down very much lately, but I will still go on her and check whats happening.
