Someone has created a cross-posting Leobot on Twitter: http://twitter.com/leomatic. The snake is now eating its own tail.

Leo start posting like mad and bring the bot down, or ask one of your nice lawyer to do it for you ;-) Looks like you cant escape Twitter as easily as you had hoped.
I don't think it's a problem as long as it's not me. And I am glad for the followers who don't want to leave Twitter but still want my updates (for some reason).
The TWIT army just keeps marching on - and to different places - interesting...:)
Love your work Leo & if you ever come to the UK be sure to do a podcast ;)
@MajorGeek: There's a bit of background to the name in <a href="http://www.606tech.com/fullarticle.php?artid=492">this interview on 606Tech</a>:
"We came up with the name Jaiku because the posts on Jaiku resemble Japanese haikus. A haiku is a short poem about the moment that a person is living through even as they are writing it down. In Finland too the nomadic Lapp people share stories by singing Joikus. We liked the name Jaiku mainly because it had a fun sound to it. Those who want can also read in it a little reminder that actually the need we're addressing isn't anything new. The basic desire to tell others what you're up to, and have a sense of what they're doing, has been around forever and in all cultures."
None at all. Thanks for doing it. I think it solves a number of problems. As I hope I made clear I love Twitter (although I'm coming to like Jaiku even more) - I just don't feel like I can participate on it without further jeopardizing my brand spanking new TWiT trademark. I hate this stuff but I'm trying to do the right thing all around.
Cool, count us in ChiefTWiT - with one personal caveat on my part. Our first child is expected to be born any day now so there's a slight chance I'm needed elsewhere :)
This looks like it's going to be a lot of fun. Commenting on posts - excellent. The one thing I didn't like about Twitter was the disconnect in the messages.

A bit off topic, but Leo have you moved the Leo cam slightly?

Was that a flash post of Cranky Geeks that I spotted? Give John Hell :-)

Leo you just got told. LOL

I wasn't a fan of twitter, but I do like Jaiku. I'm glad you made the switch; if you didn't, I may have never found out about it.

This may be off topic but leo Im supposed to tell you that the #twit channel on kaffeinenet is open 24/7 so users can go when ever.

Twitter is fun, but Jaiku is addictive. The ability to comment is the clincher in my book
2 years, 7 months ago by zmama
Jaiku is great. Thanks for finding it Leo. Anyone know what the origin of "Jaiku" is?

I started the Leomatic bot, I hope I made it clear enough for users to know its not you. If you have any concerns let me know.

Leo, Jyri, This Jaiku site is pretty good (thanks for lett us all know it exists) loving the location widget at the front. Nice touch!

Convenient, because that's the talent fee that Leo charges guests to his shows. ;)
