And then there was... Jaiku!

So in my hunt for social media slash web2.0 slash social networks slash interesting stuff, I stumbled on something that sounds like the 872th pokemon (how many are there now by the way?): Jaiku. I haven't had time to take a look at it yet but it seems like a Twitter but not as simplified. I'm sure it is a play on words of "Haiku"... whatever.

It uses mobile technology, sms or smart phones capabilities and it can also be used via websites... I wonder what is more popular... Twitter or Jaiku. I think Jaiku is older.

Looks interesting...

Dodgeball - Where you can hit on girls (by throwing a dodgeball at them)

In my search for how to integrate Web 2.0 phenomenons to my job, I came across this: www.dogeball.com
I thought it is an amazing idea. Too bad it doesn't exist in Montreal/Canada.

I think it is an interesting concept, I really like it but I am wondering how effective it is in terms of romance... would it be creepy for the crush to receive that message? Would he or she even want to find out who the "crushee" is?
