Flinkin, a social network to share links espaola

A couple of enterprising locals in December read rumors that could disappear Delicious, hosting and sharing site for blogs, and decided to launch a social network that specializes in this, Flinkin. "It turned out that Delicious is not closed, but we had already launched the site," says one of its creators.

The fact that the law in the courts Sinde progress has significance to Flinkin was not the day of his birth. "We were not born as an alternative against the law Sinde. Our goal is that Internet users can share links, your use each of this possibility is your responsibility," says David Roche, a telecommunications engineer who along with Marc Taulé specialist web design company have Beweb.

This morning there were 915 registered members. "The foundation is a network in which the Internet user can share the links that look interesting, but unlike most known networks such as Twitter or Facebook, Flinkin is dedicated exclusively to blogs." Web surfers can hang recommended that you create and discuss why.

This information can be classified as private, for use, or public, accessible to all. "It's a choice of white or black. There is no other intermediate possibilities." Flinkin not have wall or space to upload photos. A member of the network can send a message to another member, but always particular.

"He sent the message and we do get to the mail account that has been the other member without first having information on what it has." Gradually, the creators of Flinkin, which is now hosted on servers in the company, will improve the performance. And is in Catalan, Spanish and English and in a month will launch versions in Portuguese and Italian.

You can work with any browser but Firefox and Chrome has created an extension that provides direct access to the account of the Internet in Flinkin. At the moment, no advertising or business model. Waiting to see how it progresses.
