tag = "Blinko"

Blinko is a new mobile social network. The service is available on mobile phones and on the web. The features are chat and following functions for friend updates as well as photo sharing. Furthermore there is an option, that is not common. Blinko enables to send an unlimited amount of text messages to friends. Text messaging, too, is used for update information. By this one may reach people, who do not have an internet enabled mobile phone.

A recent survey conducted by HPLabs and Cornell University has shown revealing data about the fact that each individual is in regular contact with about twenty people, who represent their key points of reference in everyday life. This means that any social network contains two sub-sets: one packed with "acquaintances" with whom we have little genuine interaction and the other, more select but full of interaction and brimming with confidence. And it is precisely on this sub-set that blinko has decided to concentrate on; thanks to an exclusive SMS notification service, blinko allows you to use the mobile to share and interact with the top "20 favorites", without necessarily having to start a mobile internet session. blinko users can also send 30 free SMS a day to the circle of "20 favorites", as well as follow up to 10 "Channels".

Ready to manage your network? Keep yourself in shape for March, 3rd.

Everything will be in place the first week of March.
Stay tuned! The countdown has started!

A viral ad campaign supporting digital entertainment company Buongiorno's mobile social network has been viewed over 400,000 times.

The 411,101 views in the first three weeks of the campaign resulted in 3,135 visits to the Real Time Real People website, which contains more information about the mobile-specific social network.

According to the company, around 12% of unique viewers requested an invitation code to Blinko with over 27% subscribing.

Hopes 'invitation only' Blinko community will become a top three brand in ten countries.

Italy-based D2C mobile content provider Buongiorno has launched a mobile-only social network called Blinko.

The launch ups the ante in the mobile social networking space, with rival D2C giant Zed also making headway in the space.

Buongiorno says it's aiming to make Blinko a 'top three' social networking brand in at least 10 countries.
