Well, I’ve never even heard of Jaiku.. guess I should check that one out. Not that I ever use my Twitter or Pownce, though.

I’m a big fan of Pownce myself…

My readers really weren’t my readers as you can see later in the stream. You’ll see when I post the maps that most Jaikuers are in Europe, which is not my natural readership. Regardless of whether it was perceived to be fair or not the results severely outskew actual usage of the networks.

Personally, I like Pownce the best, and Twitter’s pretty good. I’ve not really given Jaiku a fair shake, but was very unimpressed when I first logged in a few mos ago. I think all three have +/- , which you noted very well.

Thank you, Geoff, for pointing this out. What’s your preference?

By the way, interesting to see that your readers think that the poll was fair. You wrote, “The poll was reopened due to overwhelming comments that it was fair. I disagree, but I just work here.”

I wouldn’t take that poll too seriously. A Jaiku corporate staffer sent its legions into the poll and hijacked the results.
