Free Sms to anyone?

Yes, it's true!!
You can send up to 30 FREE SMS a day to the 20 real friends you have on your list AND up to 3 FREE SMS a day to anyone, in case you need to contact someone else.
Look for the green box below your friends list! blinko is the perfect alternative to the noise you are forced to on common social networks.

Why 20

blinko reduced friends lists to 20.
Is it that weird? You may think you interact with more than 20 real friends.. But is that true?

The Economist asked Cameron Marlow, the “in-house sociologist” at Facebook to reveal some numbers on real interactions in social networks.
Dr Marlow showed that among those Facebook users with 500 friends, men leave comments for 17 friends, women for 26. Men communicate with ten, women with 16.

blinko wants you to focus on best friends, the ones you interact with. Life is on the move and it’s so full of things to do that you don’t have time to check pics by schoolmates you haven’t met for 15 years.

blinko has just given you the power to build your private mobile social network! Manage and enjoy your life.

Don’t miss blinko @ Social Networking forum in London on March, 9th.

20 is YOUR number.

what's 20?
