newsflash: google buys jaiku

Oct 9, 2007

Jaiku, the Finnish microblogging site was just bought by Google. The full story is here.
Jaiku was founded by Jyri Engestrom, the anthropologist who turned me on to the “Social Object” idea.
Big congrats to Jyri and his team!

Hey Raimo,
Last I checked, Jyri was currently getting his PhD in Anthropology. No worries, the truth will out eventually etc.
