You can also quickly build up your contacts from within the Groups. We have also added some basic admin functions to groups giving you control over who can post.

The service is already meeting many peoples' needs, however, being able to link your existing phone contacts 'seamlessly' with the Zipiko service is an ideal; and something that has troubled us from the beginning. But how best to solve the issue? It was great to hear about the BONDI initiative and we will be keeping a close eye on it. SyncML is two steps too fiddly for an 'average' user and a lot of extra work to please the early adopters – although it might be worth it just for them. In the meantime we are implementing some more human approaches to speed up the contact adding process. We already have 'PEOPLE WHO HAVE ADDED YOU' and will soon be adding 'FRIENDS OF FRIENDS YOU MIGHT KNOW' – ranked in order of probability. Later you will also be able to see and add people within your GROUPS. We are improving the system to work better on low-spec browsers in the hope of avoiding a seperate m. version. If we succeed this will obviously help with consistency. And automate location tracking is something that we are looking into future. We will be following your updates closely – much thanks on behalf of us Zipipopers. Hi, I’m the Creative Director at Zipipop and I think this entry hits the nail on the head fair’n’square.
