The micro-blogging site Jaanix just added a new feature last night. Now when you add a post to Jaanix, it automatically cross posts to Twitter. Very nice.
Twitter seems to be becoming the flow publisher of choice for social sites. In recent days, I've also been using Hictu!, which cross posts to Twitter as well.
We can all remain hopeful that they will expand their API to support this new audience. A Hictu video stream, or Jaanix excerpt would be a fabulous payload addition to Twitter.
Alec Saunders is the Vice President of Developer Relations for BlackBerry make Research in Motion. This is his personal blog, with his personal viewpoints. Prior to this Alec was the CEO and co-founder of Calliflower — the easiest way to hold a meeting, online, on a conference call, or on the go. A double-decade veteran of product management and marketing, he spent nine years at Microsoft where he helped launch Windows 95, the first two versions of Internet Explorer, the Universal Plug and Play initiative, the push into home markets, opt-in email marketing and what might well go down in history as the very first direct email list ever.

I'm still keen on Jaiku. My Jaiku feed updates Facebook & Twitter. The presence aspect of Jaiku is nice.
Yeah – for some reason Jaiku never took off the same way here. I used it a bit, but then moved to Twitter because that's where the action was.
