US and Malaysia based company Mindvalley Labs was preparing the Blinklife system for a Public Use. Now it's public beta. Blinklife described as
BlinkLife is the next-generation Email - designed to help you keep in touch with your mom, your classmates, your lover and other people who mean a lot to you.
So save your Gmail, Yahoo, Outlook or Hotmail accounts for business and professional use. When it comes to personal emails from the people who really matter to you - BlinkLife will change the way you communicate…
Blinklife is a new concept to keep a private and secure communication between your family members and friends. It's a kind of Blog - which is powered by e-mails, contains tags to group up things and integrates a discussion system. It has a public and private part which can be specific to be some contacts or groups. Public postings are posted on the Home page of yours similer like a blog. lets take an inside look of blinklife system.
After signup and validation of your blinklife account you will have your personal start page, example as http://yourname.blinklife.com
To start using blinklife you gotta have some contacts in your contacts list
you can start adding contacts via your contacts list by clicking on contacts
Okay lets say you have some contacts in your contact list .. Lets start composing something for them and make it public.
On the composition box you can add multiple pictures, assign tags to the post. Blinklife composer window contains rich text formatting controls but it surely missing color attribute buttons, i hope they will be adding it soon. After composing a message go down to the page to click the send button. Make sure you don't close the window while it's uploading and publishing the contents.
Once it's published, blinklife will take you to the home page of yours.. see the shot below (It's a public view of the Post)
Well lets see how does it look like when contacts received the e-mails
When you've choose to make a post private, only the contacts you've send the post will have an unique link to open the post from their e-mail. Private messages will not be displayed on your home page.
Every post features reply option to start a discussion. Users of blinklife has the option to post reply with photos and ability to grab photos from other peoples/friends posts.
Important Features

With BlinkLife you can put your messages online - just like a blog on YourPage.BlinkLife.com. But it gets better. BlinkLife knows who's looking at your page an automatically shows only messages and pictures relevant to them. Your mother, your best friend and your girlfriend all see only messages meant for their eyes. Never worry about your mother discovering inappropriate pictures of you on your
Group Discussions
Easily start and run discussions. You can open up discussions to specific friends and groups. Plan a college reunion, share pictures from a party, or debate politics.
Emails To Your Mailing List Look Personal
Imagine writing one email to specific groups, family members, or just your college friends, or just people you know living in Chicago… and have the email look as though you typed it directly to that person, addressing them by their first name, even! Personalization also means you can send a New Year's Card to 100 people and have it automatically customized to every recipient.
Reverse Time
After your boyfriend once again fails to show up for dinner, you send him a heated email in which you vent everything that has ever bothered you. 3 minutes later he calls you to tell you he got held up in the jewelry store where he was buying your birthday present. But now you've already sent that angry email…. Wouldn't you wish you could undo history at times like these? Now with BlinkLife you can!

- I can't find a way to upload videos, maybe i'm missing something or they didn't implement it yet
- Media or Album page
From my point of view blinklife is an excellent new concept to keep people connected with each other in a different and more personalized way. The implementation of blinklife can be anything, starting from creating personal site for friends, family, co-workers or groups of people, to your private or public newspaper of your life. Blinklife is powered by Web 2.0/Ajax, gives you interactivity with performance for your day to day use. A small problem i've encountered that Tags from old posts cant be removed(i can remove from the edit post page but after saving it, it re-appears again). I'm sure they will going to fix it soon.
