Jaiku looks and feels more like Twitter than any of the other services in this round-up. It's PC-centric, it limits you to 140-character messages, and you can either blast out your presence messages to the world or keep them private, shared only with the contacts you manage.

Jaiku

Jaiku: Jaiku, the most Twitter-like of these services, has got some interesting features Twitter lacks.

Joopz

Joopz: Joopz does SMS ''conversations'' in an easy-to-use interface and schedules messages for future delivery.
