Press Release Summary = New IM bot enables direct microblog posts, comments,
channels discussions, and instant notification of new messages and comments

Press Release Body = HELSINKI, FINLAND - Aug. 30, 2007 -- Jaiku (www.jaiku.com), a
popular microblogging platform for lifestreaming, added Jabber-based instant
messaging capabilities to interact with the service and provide a new way for people
to communicate and share content in addition to the existing Web, iPhone and Nokia
Series 60 smart phone clients.

By adding jaiku@jaiku.com to their Jabber-based IM client (including Google Talk),
the new IM bot introduces the ability to instantly add and read new posts, comments,
channel messages, and also receive notifications of inbound responses directly.

Jaiku also lets users choose and receive pre-determined Web feeds from their friends
online activities via IM, for example, flickr photos from some contacts, updates
from specific blogs, Last.fm recently played tracks from others, etc.

Jaiku is the most versatile microblogging platform available today, allowing anyone
to easily post and discover new content in Jaiku's online community. It goes
several steps further than other presence applications by allowing readers to add
comments to individual posts and also allowing anyone to create, join and
participate in topic related channels.

Jaiku is also a hub for all important online activity. It creates a personal
lifestream by fetching the RSS feeds from other personal sources and broadcast it to
friends and contacts as it happens, such as when new videos are uploaded on YouTube,
business or personal blog posts are published, new social bookmarks are saved, or
even collect the status updates from other microblogs and presence apps. Jaiku also
recently introduced a Facebook widget for people to send updates directly from their
Facebook profile.

Third party developers have also extended Jaiku's functionality for all major mobile
and desktop platforms. Mobile users can access Jaiku via http://m.jaiku.com. The
Nokia WidSets mobile widget also powers over 300 phones including Blackberry.
