You might want to check out Quotably. It'd probably be more useful if this were integrated into Twitter, but it's interesting nonetheless. I found out about it here.

Also, I didn’t realize that Google was buying Jaiku. That is significant in the long term.

Peter-

This is fascinating. I know so few people who use Jaiku that I simply had never tried it out. Oddly enough, I’d been using FriendFeed to achieve the same aggregation of services offered by Jaiku. Anyway, maybe it’s best not to count out Jaiku yet… especially since, as you suggested, it seems sort of more web 2.0 than Twitter in a way. Though, simplicity over creeping featurism is definitely another important element on the web today. Just look at del.icio.us’s popularity compared to their more feature-rich competitors.
