Press Release Body =
HELSINKI, FINLAND -- August 20, 2007 -- Ahead of schedule, Jaiku (www.jaiku.com)
today released its new conversation and presence application for Nokia Series 60
Smart phones, enabling people to engage in real time Jaiku conversations while
mobile. The new Jaiku Nokia S60 app enhances the connection between people by also
displaying when contacts are online, the last time they were active on the phone,
and in what city they're located.

As long as the Nokia phone is on, Jaiku is always running, so that the threads of
conversation from your personal contacts can continue for instant viewing and
participation from the phone at anytime. People can post new updates and comment on
other posts and threads directly from the phone to the Web and also on your friend's
phones.

The new app features a visually rich contact list that displays their buddy icons
and their real time presence. Status can be broadcast to others based on the ringer
settings - as long as it's on, it shows that person as being available. Nokia S60
users can also share their phone-based calendars to notify others of their upcoming
events and availability.

* Extended battery life to maintain an up-to-date presence
* Reading and writing comments from and to your contacts
*'Stream view' contacts to see what they were doing and saying in the past, not just
their most recent post
* More than just Jaikus! Users can when their contacts have posted to flickr.
* Improved presence view makes the most of the phone screen real-estate.
* Usability improvements, including an even easier to use interface, and a progress
meter to see what's happening
* Improved data transfer and connection maintenance

Jaiku is a simple, and also versatile, popular microblogging platform that lets
anyone post and discover new content in Jaiku's online community. It goes a step
further than other presence applications on the market by allowing anyone to also
continue the conversation thread by adding thoughts and comments directly to each
post, whether on the web or from mobile phones.

Jaiku is also an online hub that collects all personal online activity through RSS
feeds and broadcasts it to contacts as it happens, including when new pictures are
uploaded on flickr, business or personal blog posts are published, new social
bookmarks are saved, or even collect the status updates from other microblogs and
presence apps. Jaiku also recently introduced a Facebook widget for people to send
updates directly from their Facebook profile.
