Are any of you familiar with Jaiku.com?

Some info from wikipedia:

Jaiku.com is a social networking and micro-blogging service comparable to the online site Twitter. Jaiku is compatible with Nokia S60 platform mobile devices through its Jaiku Mobile client software.
Jaiku's biggest asset is it's continuously growing "transitional community," which means that the community exists not only on the web but also on peripheral devices such as mobile phones.


Apparently, the problem was that non-nokia users had a difficult time accessing Jaiku.com.
The solution? A new mobile interface, 52458.mobi. I'm pretty certain that 52458 spells "Jaiku."
52458.mobi is available in English and Japanese for now.

You are 100% correct and even adds more credibility of the argument for numbers being a universal language and value in the mobi tld than anywhere else.

Great find and a must PAY ATTENTION for all mobility members.
