也许是有一些突然，Google 这次的收购目标变成了 Microblog 平台 Jaiku。Jaiku 的 Blog 上首先发文提到，刚才，Google 方面也证实了这个收购的消息：

"Exciting news: Google has bought Jaiku today.

What does that mean? First and foremost, we're of course continuing to support our existing users. So fear not: your Jaiku phone, the Web site, IM, SMS, and API will continue to work normally.

That said, new user sign-ups have been limited for the time being. The idea here is to enable our team to get right to work with Google's engineers on delivering a new, better service to you as quickly as we can instead of spending our efforts on optimizing the current back-end. Existing users will still be able to invite their friends, and those who are not yet on Jaiku can send us a request for an invitation to join."

不过 HUNG 作为一个普通的用户来看，还是比较奇怪，倒不是之前在 Twitter 上面玩的比较多，而是在同时使用了 Twitter 与 Jaiku 之后，觉得后者在任何角度来看，都差 Twitter 一大截。或许是 Twitter 方面不愿意选择 Google "靠岸"，也有可能是价格谈不拢，抑或是 Twitter 这个平台过于开放，而 Google 不大可能完全把周边交给目前 Twitter 的第三方服务商。从任何一个角度来说，Google 最终与 Jaiku 达成协议只是一个权宜之计。

Jaiku 在 2006 年 2 月份由 Jyri Engeström 和 Petteri Koponen 联合创办，目前已经停止了新用户注册，并且双方均未公布任何交易的细节。
