jaiku, the micro-blogging platform that competes with twitter (click here for comparison) and countless others, now supports jabber-based instant messaging.

Here’s what you get in a nutshell:

• Notifications of new Jaikus from your contacts
• Web feeds items from the feeds you follow
• Commenting using @screenname
• Post your own Jaikus (even to channels!) right from your desktop

what this means is that in addition to using jaiku’s web and mobile interfaces, you can now use jabber-based instant messaging clients (i.e. google talk) to create and post new messages and comments to jaiku, and receive notifications directly from the service.
