Jaiku Couldnt Be Happier
This is a picture of Jaiku’s co-founder Jyri Engestrom. He looks quite smug after he just sold his company to Google for an undisclosed amount.
But seriously is this a prime picture of what web 2.0 entrepreneurs look like these days. I thought the geeks got the girls. Im hoping the more work i do with web 2.0 and media companies doesnt make me turn into a total geek on the outside as well as the inside, because then i would just have no chance of getting laid.
However, congrats again to Jyri and im sure the people over at Pownce are kicking themselves they didnt have a chance at exiting to Google.
Google have said that the Jaiku team will be relocated to Mountain View for three months before eventually returning back to London. A Google spokesperson speaking to blognation said this acquisition was part of their strategy to counter the closed proprietary nature of Facebook and we should expect to see a few more acquisitions in this space soon.
