It’s so funny what a difference a little time can

make.

One day something is a hot trend and the next

year nobody remembers it.

Take this example that  everyone probably knows.

Google acquired Finnish Jaiku.   Any body remember that now??

Ha!

At the time it took me by surprise, Google had it in their mind

to acquire Jaiku instead of Twitter.  Go figure.

Their reasons, not entirely logical,  included:

•Because it was cheaper.

-Because J. had a better mobile platform.

-Because Google settled.

-Because g. likes second best.

-Because they want to ruin Goog.

-Because it is a fake-out and they are planning something else.

At the time commoners were assuming Google knew what

they were doing.  Ha!  Were they really trying for Twitter

through the back door by getting a price decrease?

Now some bloggers wonder still about Twitter as a viable

asset.  Huh?  Give me a break.  It is still an asset that

has made no money.  Is that an asset?
