Going back to Jaiku (mostly)

After 92 updates on Twitter I am leaving the service and moving back to Jaiku. Why? I can't take the stability issues Twitter constantly has. For instance, I can't tell you how long I have been on Twitter since I can't go back through older tweets thanks to Twitter having their main database give out on them. Considering I tend to use microblogging sites to vent frustrations and just ramble, having it be unavailable sucks.

Yes, Twitter has a lot of people on it and so you can have small conversations spring up on it. But it doesn't happen that often for me. Plus, thanks to FriendFeed, I can follow Twitter and still reply with my Twitter account so that I don't miss anything interesting on the service.

For now I have just torn down the status updates for Twitter without replacing it with Jaiku's badge. I figure my FriendFeed badge covers that (and a lot more) since it has my Jaiku settings. If anyone (read: Mom) really finds it too difficult to find my Jaiku comments through FriendFeed it would be best to just bookmark my Jaiku account and read it there.
