in Facebook Announces F8 In the Middle of OSCON, Coincidence? on Stay N' Alive
If O'Reilly was publishing my next book, I would go to OSCON to support my publisher, because they, in turn, support my wallet. :-) Facebook must just be really stupid to plan F8 in the middle of OSCON. I don't really see what they would gain by doing so.

Jacob I agree - unfortunately I'll probably be going to OSCON and missing F8 because of this. It's a shame Facebook can't respect the Open Source community a little better though.

in Where’s Jaiku??? on Stay N' Alive
Of course you've heard that Jaiku is moving to Google's App Engine. I suspect that like twitter, scalability is a problem for Jaiku as well, which is why they remain under invite-only status, and also why they are moving to the App Engine.
I've also heard rumors that except for the efforts to move Jaiku to the App Engine, Jaiku is just a 20% project at Google, which means that Google really doesn't care about it. I've seen a few Google Acquisitions get thrown to the sidelines (Dodgeball?), and maybe Jaiku is another one of those which will never really be a serious Google property, which is too bad.
P.S. If anyone needs an invite to Jaiku, try JaikuInvites.com.

That's what I'm afraid of - google putting jaiku by the wayside, which
is a shame
