Jisko.net – Multilanguage Sharing

If you’re tired of Twitter’s monopoly, then you might want to check out what Jisko.net has to offer. On the site, you’ll be able to share with your friends and the rest of the world anything that you find interesting. There are users from all around the world, so you’ll be able to find someone from or area (or at least someone who speaks your language). Users can update their feeds from the site or through a Jabber-enabled account. One interesting thing about the site is the Wiki section. There, you’ll be able to find a wide resource of information for anyone who wants to learn more about it. Everything from FAQs to information on how to get started is there, so you’ll be able to quickly get a hang of the service’s features. A little break from Twitter is always welcome, and this site has what it takes to cater to Twitter fans from around the world.

“Jisko is a Open-Source microblogging service that provides instant relation by short messages (called "notes") between your friends. This is a useful and fast communication method, and it's free!”

The web is crawling with sites like this. If they can manage to stand out from the rest, they’ll be able to take a bite out of Twitter’s slice of the cake.

Is it that different from Twitter? Why should users choose this over other similar services?
