Silent sociality
Brady Forrest from O'Reilly Radar wrote a nice description of Jaiku when a new version of the site was launched yesterday at ETel. I especially agree with Brady's last point (on which Kathy Sierra has written an excellent piece): new presence services should not burden your days with more interruptions. It's great to know that your friends are like just around the corner, and that you can anytime have a break and amuse yourself by going and seeing what they're up to, and then go back –unless their presence call for some kind of response. It's like some kind of silent sociality that leaves a feeling that you're not alone, but neither are you randomly disturbing other people in your exposure-dependent existential hunger.
