good point on the benefits. i honestly set up a jaiku account just to have one. never intended to move. still not sure i will. but the integration of feeds into jaiku (blog, flickr, google reader link blog) is WAY more impressive than twitter and probably fulfills my needs more. twitter has high inertia right now. not sure i'm ready to switch teams just yet.
and you're right about conversation. jaiku comments are far superior to @username flat tweets. the fact that I can follow the trail is sweet.

wish jaiku had a web interface for managing invite requests. seems email is the only way or is there a tab I'm missing.

@ericrice that functionality would be great across ALL communications services: talking, SMS, IM, tweets, media sharing/commenting, etc). gmail does a great job of this with email traffic, showing you the most frequently emailed contacts at a glance. the algorithm isn't clear, but it's better than ME doing it manually via a desktop client and database coding. I want any social network to help me rank my contacts based on how/intensely i interact with them.
There's all this talk of companies mining consumer data for advertising purposes, but if they let me at my own data with some of those same tools, I'd mine it for ME and be more likely to stick with their service over another's
