It is actually painful to visit Jaiku lately and get greeted by the Jaiku bird or the message that “servers are too busy right now”. After announcing that they were open-sourcing the Jaiku code, the usability of the site has gone south. I keep asking myself “why bother anymore”? Maybe it’s because I still have a soft spot in my heart for Jaiku and its community.
