how does blinka work?1. You're in a cafe or bar, you have a conversation with someone you find interesting. Simply end the conversation with “hey blinka.me and maybe we can meet up again”.
2. On blinka.me add a moment. Simply record the date, time, place and some reminders about the situation; what happened, something about you both and you're done. You can choose whether the moment is private or shared with other users, friends and followers to help you get a match.
3. Wait for a match. If the other person enters the moment as well, then you'll both get an email notification. No need to read through all the moments. Sometimes there may be several matches if you are in a popular location, so read through the matches to find the person you want to reconnect with.
4. Message them, have a safe private chat through blinka.me and let nature run it’s course. Note you control access to your profile. You don’t have to share this until you’re ready.
