Did Google buy jaiku to get rid of the competition for Twitter?

Tip for best answer: M$1.00
Separate topics with commas, or by pressing return. Use the delete or backspace key to edit or remove existing topics.

You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

I don't think that was the reason. The timing just doesn't make much sense. Twitter didn't really take off until after jaiku was acquired in October 2007. I think they probably bought it as a competing product but quickly realized the boat had sailed. That even tho twitter had not exploded it already had a very serious core of people. These people were already committed to the the platform and were unwilling to move.

Just my two cents.
