Comments from contributors who selected Jaiku as one of their Top 10 Tools in 2008
- “I have used Jaiku for almost a year now and its potential is becoming apparent. Because of its ability to combine RSS feeds I choose, I get contributions from ‘friends’ and from their RSS feeds too. Jaiku is a ‘micro-blog’ that, when used with these features, becomes a media board of sorts.” David Sugden

- “It runs on my mobile phone and notifies me what my friends are doing, where they are and if they are available for a call. It also serves as a quick way to post small ideas or just get some lunch company in the true spirit of serendipity. The web interface connects my online presence into a single stream I can browse to understand who I really am.” Teemu Arina
- “This is fairly new to me but there seems to be great potential with it – for instant communication.” David Sugden
- ”great micro blogging site which can import feeds from your contacts” Lisa Valentine
