What Do Activity Streams, Presence Sharing and Search Have In Common?

Google does all of them!


The announcement of Google buying Jaiku had me a bit confused, but the more I think about it, the more sense it makes. After all, what is the one thing that Facebook does that everyone is equally fond of, news feeds. When you take news feeds and bring them to the mobile phone, you have activity streams and presence sharing. So why should Google not get in the game?


Some buzz in the blogosphere:


Scoble


Mashable


Is this a direct attack on Facebook?


Is the big G getting into the lifestreaming space?



OF COURSE!


Wouldn't you?
