WIRELESS AND MOBILE NEWS

Google is acquiring Finnish social mobile microblogging service, Jaiku. Tony Hsieh, Product Manager manager at Google said “We’re excited to announce that we’ve acquired Jaiku, a company that’s been hard at work developing useful and innovative applications for staying in touch with the people you care about most — regardless of whether you’re at a computer or on a mobile phone.”

Jaiku has been compared to industry leader Twitter, where friends always know what their friends are doing via mini mobile posts.  Analysts are saying that this is a yet another move by Google to be the master of all media including IM, mobile Web and microblogging.
