How to reconnect with your past


Everyone has someone they’d like to reconnect with...  


www.blinka.me

‘Look,’ says the girl at the bar, ‘If you give me that business card I’ll lose it in the bottom of my bag and it will get covered in lipstick, old liquorice allsorts and fluff. You should just blinka.me instead.’
 
The newly developed website www.blinka.me is a place where people can reconnect and interact with the people they’d like to reconnect and interact with. blinka.me gives you a second chance to connect with someone if you were caught off guard the first time, and have lost sleep about the fact that you may have come across as an idiot, a loser, a dick, or just uninterested.

Reconnecting with someone through blinka.me has some nice advantages. Shy people needn’t worry about the fear of rejection when asking for someone’s phone number. Busy business networkers can contact that contact you made at after work drinks, but forgot to swap business cards with because you were in the toilet when they left. Using blinka.me you can reconnect with those people by logging those missed moments on www.blinka.me

“We believe blinka.me will help people make more real world connections. There are plenty of social networking sites to help you maintain your relationships online but blinka.me is focused on helping people reconnect with the interesting people that are around us everyday,” says Duncan Shand, Start Up CEO of Blinka.me

Everyone has someone they’d like to reconnect with.

Like the cute girl who smiled at you at the bar last night, people who went to the same game, concert, or conference, maybe your birth parents, even the guy you pashed on that Contiki tour and got pregnant to all those years ago.

If you log your moments on blinka.me we will match them to others from the same time and place. Meet the girl from the bar, re-live the World Cup final, share concert memories, find your parents, chat with the Contiki guy and tell him about the daughter he never knew he had!

blinka.me enables these connections to be made.

Rachel Goodchild, Author of best seller Eighty Eight Dates comments, without any financial encouragement, about the new site.

“Blinka is a great new tool to connect with those people you've eyed up over a crowded bar. And as someone who's moved cities fairly recently - I wish it had been around when I was trying to work out the places to meet people like me," she says.

How does Blinka work?

 

Using blinka.me is easy. Just head to www.blinka.me and sign in (you can even use your facebook account). Then simply log your moment with a date, place and some details of the situation where your moment took place. The patent pending matching method automatically matches moments based on date, time and location. When a match is made you'll both get an email notification to your inbox.

You can connect to new people safely.  Blinka.me gives you control over the communication. You can chat with new people without sharing email addresses or phone numbers. You can use Blinka.me to have a safe conversation and screen people before you meet them again; which is really handy if you tend to attract stalkers, vampires or salesmen.

If you’d like to try blinka.me out over a glass of bubbles then meet us at Sales St this Thursday (11/6) at 7pm. Oh yeah and the first drink is on us!
