Buongiorno’s Blinko Adds Fave Friends

Italian mobile content provider Buongiorno has updated its Blinko mobile social network, making it easier for friends to communicate and update their interests. The main new feature is “20 favorites,” which lets users choose their 20 favorite friends to text with without having to open a browsing session.

Buongiorno added this feature so Blinko users can separate their friends from their “mere acquaintances” on the social network, Mobile Entertainment reports.

In addition to instantly chatting with their fave 20 friends, Blinko users can also share updates from the various Blinko channels with anyone on the list.
