Zipipop Presents:  Zipiko — broadcasting intentions

Zipiko is a listings service for friend and group events – think Time Out or Upcoming based on what your friends are doing. Simply join their events or share your own plans and let Zipiko take care of the coordination.

It's great for arranging get-togethers and your friends will receive invites via email, social networks or SMS text. This means you can get your friends together even if they are not signed up yet. So you can even invite your Granny!

So sign up, let your friends know what you would like to do and soon you will be having more time and more fun together.
