Just wanted to let everyone in on a new site called JaikuInvites.com. If you've looked at Mauku, you realize it's freakin awesome, but you gotta have an invite to join Jaiku. Problem solved.

Here's how it works:

Potential Jaikunauts - all you need to do is head over to JaikuInvites.com and click on "Need an Invite?" You'll enter your email address and then sit back and wait. You'll soon receive the invite directly from an existing user.

Current Jaikunauts - You've got a little bit more work to do, but not much. First, login to Jaiku, and then click on this link: http://jaiku.com/contacts/invite. It will tell you how many invites you currently have to share. Then, head on over to JaikuInvites.com and log your email address, along with the number of invites you're able to share.

That's it. The system will hook one up with the other, and connect the two via email. I've shared all 6 invites that I have left, and the more we have joining, the more new users and interesting conversations we'll have going on.

Easy peasy, everyone. Don't forget, once you're a user, check to see if you have any invites to share the wealth.
