Amir Salihefendic, the mastermind of Todoist and Plurk, has introduced another -ism with Wedoist.

Wedoist is a real-time project management tool - think along Basecamp lines. Amir has folded into the system a number of tech trends, hoping to point the product into the future.

This morning, we got news that Microsoft had unequivocally ripped off design and code from marginally successful microblogging service Plurk.

Now, we're seeing reports - and seeing for ourselves on the Microsoft website - that the knockoff site has been unceremoniously ganked from the tubes. Did a major corporation get caught red-handed stealing intellectual property from a startup? Say it ain't so! More interestingly, is the removal of the site an admission of guilt? And are these side-by-side source code screenshots incriminating or what?

We just got word of an interesting new microblogging service: Rejaw. Rejaw is an interesting combination of microblogging with real-time chat. In some ways, it is similar to Plurk and Identi.ca, but its interface looks a lot more traditional and instead of just alerting you to updates, it pushes them directly onto your screen in real-time. On the client side, Rejaw is taking the unusual route of releasing a Mac client first. A Windows version should follow in the very near future and the team is also planning to release an iPhone app.
