Jaiku Closed for the Weekend Pending Upgrade

However, having looked at responses by Jaiku Invites and ZDNet’s Googling Google blogger Garett Rogers, it appears that the service isn’t quite “down for the count,” so to speak. Instead, there’s morsel-sized evidence Jaiku is taking this short hiatus to enact a real shift in performance to give Jaiku that extra umph on the Google App Engine people have anticipated for a number of weeks now.

Indeed, the company did mention earlier this month that it was moving its wares over to the App Engine, and it delivered a few words on the Jaikido Blog about the effort to port the thing as it was underway. But this new memo asking everyone – users, visitors, woops-wrong-turners – to take a breather may well bring about that gleeful and long-awaited phew-ahhh troubled members have been waiting for. Otherwise, it’s just, you know, a few days of downtime. Which even on the Twitter barometer circa Q1 and Q2 2008, would connote doom, gloom, and nasty scarring to boot.
