I took some time during my 5-hour layover here at Trudeau Airport to update the sidebar here on ruk.ca to use Plazes (instead of Jaiku) to provide the “What am I up to?” This is just a test to see how it works out — the “status” line is a new feature of Plazes, part of the major upgrade that rolled out last week. It’s not as mature as Jaiku’s presence management — you can’t attach comments, for example — but it is well-integrated with locations, and that’s a good thing. It’s also nice to be able to use one tool to update the where and the what.
