Blummi is a combination of services that keep you in touch with your friends, lets you socialize, and sends notifications to your mobile; as well as other features. If you happen to visit the homepage, you’ll see there’s section where you can submit your email address, and in turn the service sends you an invite to try the Beta version. It just so happens that the huge list of e-mail addresses that enrolled for the try out; got an email which included everyone on the list.

Apparently they forgot to send the ‘announcement’ (contained in the e-mail) as a blind carbon copy (bcc), allowing spammers & strangers to take full advantage. So with that (huge) mistake, even before starting off (in the next few months), let’s see what it has to offer.

It’s a resemblance of the service Brightkite, a location-based social network, though it has the potential for more. Such as provide way to sort out Twitter contacts by group, and also lets you social: help you find people that share similar interests. If a service like Tapulous’ Twinkle can make a name, Blummi is sure to catch the net-workers attention. The features of the services are listed below:

• Blummi lets you organize your followers in groups
• Lets you create different kinds of spreads for e.g. message, poll, link, review event
• Allows sharing your ‘spreads’/tweets
• Post comments on images, links, polls, and keep a watch on who will join your events and what your followers are planning to do lately
• Discover how far away your followers are, or what they are interested in
• Meet new friends, with the same interests
• Also allows you to keep in touch, take and share images and shout out to your list, where you‘ve been
• Add privileges like letting your follower see you exact location, or only your city
• See if your followers have read your tweet
• Blummi will inform you if a follower is close by to your location
• Discover stuff going on around you
• And last but not least Threaded discussions to spread gossip or share ideas.

I guess this sums up the vast use of Blummi; should also mention that the Blummi creators have issued a smart apology to all effected, this time through bcc
