Bingo! I don’t even like push email, I prefer opening the Gmail application when I have the time to actually go thru my messages.

I can’t imagine what it would be like getting text messages all day that are complete rubbish. I don’t care what my friends are doing this very second; I only care about what they’re doing when I have the free time to sit on my butt and ponder when our next evening of debauchery will take place.

I totally agree. The likes of Jaiku are good when you want to feel connected, when you have a bit of free time. It’s a total arse getting text messages all day long when you’re in the middle of some really important work — AND you think that each text message MIGHT be relevant to that piece of work – only to find out it’s totally irrelevant.

EVERY time you pick up the handset to see what the text says… no, that’s not what I want. Get all your friends (the ones with Symbian, anyway) on to Jaiku, Stefan, and you can avoid the continual avalanche of irrelevance until you’re in the mood for it.
