La Case de l’Oncle Tom

Jaiku is great competitor to Twitter. I bet on its scalability to exceed the slowing down Twit-machine. For this purpose, I created this widget with an easy to use interface.

• displays the timeline of your choice :
  • public timeline
  • contacts timeline
  • only you
• message icon (even custom Jaiku’s ones)
• message formatting (auto URL, auto reply)
• tabed and paginated navigation
• ability to filter your own messages from display (nice for contacts timeline)
• ability to change your location while sending a message
• ability to auto-fill your reply message (with @username / #channel)

Jaiku Widget on Netvibes

This widget has been discontinued due to both dropped support from Google and API change.

What I plan(ed) to do:

• better handling of errors
  
• better handling of sending message process
• distinguish people you follow from people you don’t follow (public timeline)
• distinguish unread Jaiku messages (since first load of the widget)
• is.gd/tinyUrl implementation (on demand or auto)
• l10n (localization) in French
• Microformats implementation (hCalendar, hAtom, hCard)
• repost messages to Twitter
