This Easter the party's on Jaiku
Leo Laporte the charismatic tech conversationalist and owner of TWiT network of online media announced on his blog he’d moved to Jaiku. He can be found at chieftwit.jaiku.com

In the 24 hours following Leo's move we've been getting a lot more traffic, new users, and blog coverage than ever in Jaiku's history. Here are a few notable picks of commentary:
