Finnish Jaiku community

It’s great to hear from you Jyri!
I’m really happy that the days of Jaiku have not yet been counted. Your service and your work in promoting conversation culture have planted seeds for big changes in Finnish organizational & governance culture. The fruits of the Finnish Jaiku community will become fully visible years from now but following the process from a very short distance and meeting people personally I can tell you that big changes are on their way.
Thank you
ps. I wrote a blog comment partly detailing the uniqueness of the Finnish Jaiku community http://tinyurl.com/4tc6cx

Absolutely great to hear your own thoughts on how things might go in the coming year and certainly very relieving as there have been a lot of rumblings of late that Jaiku as a whole was just going to vanish off the map, which would definitely had made a lot of people very sad.
Congrats again on your new arrival and have a great Christmas and an excellent 2009.

I celebrate your successes – yours, Ulla’s, the family’s – and you *know* I commiserate with your less felicitous findings. Best wishes for a banner year in 2009!

@Boris The Web as platform point applies equally to all services. It's very much a borrowed term: I liked the way Tim O'Reilly formulated the argument in 2005. Google Execs also use it. My boss Vic Gundotra defended it at a panel at Web 2.0 Summit last month.

Thanks Jyri!
Your post is very reliefing. I hope people will stop making their plan Bs and return to Jaiku bringing some of the tweeters along.
Looking forward to see the API opening up and other wows.
Hyvää joulua ja uutta vuotta!

Thanks for the update! I’m sure a lot of people were ready to give up on Jaiku. This will give us all something to look forward to.
One thing; you wrote: “No single service, no matter how large and powerful, is the platform. The Web is the platform.”
Are you talking about Google or Twitter there? Does that sentence apply to both? Just wondering…
