Presence is the new anchor, the point of interoperability. It is becoming the unifying interface, your dashboard, for managing your widespread onlife.

Google will build Jaiku into:

1. Google Talk
   • will become the Jaiku client
     • mood messages on steroids
2. GrandCentral telephony
   • so your jaiku rings
     • when someone calls and
       • your call history is blended with your jaiku stream
3. Google Groups
   • for collective presence that builds on Jaiku channels
4. Maps
   • aggregating presence visually
5. Google Docs
   • your colleague just updated her presentation
6. Orkut 2.0
   • highest traffic'd site in the google family
7. Feedburner
   • run the Jaiku feeds you publish
     through Google's RSS management tool
     to see statistics on readership
8. Google Reader
   • adding immediacy to your inbox
     what else are the people who posted to this blog doing/saying
9. YouTube, Google Video, Google Photos
   • your friends' new pics/vids/vlogs
10. Google Mobile
    • so you're never without it
11. Google Desktop widgets
    • for better social peripheral vision

Jaiku will be central to Google's office and enterprise appeal. It's how distributed teams will stay in touch, a new watercooler.

The Jaiku team's doing the usual stuff for the next two months: migrating to Google server farms, migrating user IDs to Google's identity namespace and auth services, moving offices, buying new cars.

Congratulations!

p.s. Given the timing, I wonder what Jaiku's founders might ask Niklas in these early weeks after the sale?
