Subject: Announcement from Jaiku


Wonderful Jaiku users,

Exciting news, Jaiku is joining Google!

While its too soon to comment on specific plans, we look forward to
working with our new friends at Google over the coming months to expand
in ways we hope you’ll find interesting and useful. Our engineers are
excited to be working together and enthusiastic developers lead to
great innovation. We look forward to accomplishing great things
together.

In order to focus on innovation instead of scaling, we have
decided to close new user sign-ups for now. But fear not! All our Jaiku
services will stay running the way you are used to and you will
continue to be able to invite your friends to Jaiku.

We have put together a quick Q&A about the acquisition at http://jaiku.com/help/google

Jyri Engestrom and Petteri Koponen, Jaiku Founders

[ENDS]
