I don't know about you, be if I was the founder of Jaiku I would be very upset. You sold your company to Google, hoping it would become this great tool that everyone would be using, and then once google gets a hold of it they kill it, because they can't get it back out the door. So it dies before it ever evens has a chance. The company was Google's and they were free to do with it what they like, but that is just sad.

Then again maybe they aren't to sad, because they likely made a good bit of money on the deal.
