pondering Twitter copycats

not a lot to say here, just a brief brain dump…

Twitter created something new.
Other sites copies, like Jaiku, and Pownce.
you know a good idea is going to be copied. But what I didn’t expect was that Google would pass on Twitter, and instead buy Jaiku.
Twitter has most of the eyeballs, but that is clearly not what Google wanted.
So what did they want?
A more compatible back end?
Better tools?
Possibly better management team?

And did Jaiku win just because they were bought out by Google?

Ok, I’m falling asleep, more on this later…
