Google Gobbles Jaiku… The New Mobile Beast is Hungry!
Wow, say that one five times fast!
Well friends, another mobile social network has been eaten by Google. Yummy!
You know how Google puts out those cool holiday themed Google home pages? (The ones with the fireworks for the 4th, or the pregnant woman for labor day) They should make a new one where the “G” is a giant mouth eating the littles “o’s”. They could put it up every time they buy another mobile company… Oh wait, that would be every day.
Yesterday Google bought Finnish, mobile, micro-blogging site Jaiku.com. This is now their 16th (I think) mobile acquisition this year, and their 2nd within two weeks. (See the amazing post, Google buys Zingku: Mobile Social Networking arrives! ) Don’t quote me on this, but I think Google might just be up to something mobile. I’m not sure, but my spider sense is telling me I may be working in the right field.
Yes, Google obviously knows what we here at Cellfish have known for a while. Just like Thursday is the new Friday, and Bisexual is the new Native American, Cellphones are most definitely the new Internet. Google will not allow itself to do what the record companies did. Google is not about to let technology pass it by. They’ll see your industry predictions and raise you a trend creation. Yes, they not only know what is next, they are going to create what is next, and we here at Cellfish.com thank them from the bottom of our mobile hearts… I’ll tell you, if I could make love to any company out there (without angering my wife) it would most definitely be Google. They’re just so dang sexy.
I would also like to thank Google for making another ridiculously named company disappear. Zingku is gone… Now Jaiku, all they have left to do is buy Flibbertu, Moogumbu, Nippleter, Crinklebonk, and Blibbit, then the world will be spared having to type these inane, meaningless words into their browsers.
Wait a second… Now here’s an idea (my second one this week). As soon as I’m done writing this post I have to call my wife. You see, we’ve been trying to figure out a way for our seven-month-old daughter to start earning some cash (my Cellfish salary of loose change, and left over Cobb salad isn’t quite cutting it). Here’s the idea. My daughter is going to be VP of Strategic Planning for my new Internet Development firm. She’ll name your web site for no less than $75,000.00. She’s just getting warmed up these days with company names like, Gabu.com, Mahwaa.com, and Glurburt.org. All you’ll need to do is buy the domain, then wait two years and Google will purchase you. It’s guaranteed.
No but seriously. Mobile social networking is the next thing, and while the giant internet corporations get their armies ready for battle we here at Cellfish.com urge you all to come and check out what all the fuss is about. Because we do everything those giants are going to do, but we do it NOW!
Anyway, if you’re fed up with my satirical take on this situation, or you just want to find out what Microblogging, or Jaiku is, just read some of these posts, I found them highly informative.

My Dear Captain,
When are you gonna give me 30 000 ringtones so that I can go nuts like you?
I’ve heard they were about to buy a website called akuarkuyooyoo.com that created the first social network for toenails lovers. Is that true Mr. Fish?
OMG — I thought I’d heard that bicycles were the new Native Americans.
Now I’ve got to change all those invitations for Thanksgiving dinner…
Bisexuals are the new Native American? Have you been watching Tila Tequila on VH1? SOOOOOOO does not compare to Pocahontas!!!!!!
