Curiously, the Finnish institute chose to examine the also-ran microblogging platform Jaiku . In sifting through 400,000 messages on Jaiku, HIIT found that the most common messages users send out include the words "working," "home," "work," "lunch," and "sleeping."

Jaiku is now a shadow of its former self, some two years after it was acquired by Google.

As a kid, I was pretty good at the comics where two pictures were placed side-by-side and you were tasked with figuring out the slight differences between them. I came across ChromeExtensions.org today, a website for Google Chrome browser extensions that isn’t officially connected with Google. I noticed quite a few similarities between this site and a site I’ve worked on for a few years, addons.mozilla.org . I really do take it as a compliment that they liked our site enough to copy so much of it, but in the interest of fun, I’ll try to identify as many coincidences as I can. Homepage Promo Box
