We have started to sort SMSes in a tag on the basis of their popularity by default. We are calculating popularity using Score, Number of Forwards, Favorites and Comments.

Now you know what to do when you need to find the most popular Christmas or Newyear SMS.

Also, Featured SMSes is a selection of some of the choicest SMSes that we receive from our very Vakow! users. Earlier it was not possible to browse through the old featured SMSes (apparently) which has been fixed now.

Have fun!

We had a great time at the Barcamp. People loved our demo and gave some tremendous feedback. Thanks a ton, guys. Hope to see you at the next one.

And here’s what we just launched:

Shuffle (because surprises are fun)

Ladies and Gentleman, let go of your productivity, because here comes SHUFFLE. Now you can see randomly picked SMS Forwards in a full-screen view of your computer on a beautiful black background. Use the mouse or the keyboard arrow keys to browse through at a supersonic speed. Visit Vakow! and click on “Shuffle”.

It’s fantastic! It’s like Hot or Not for SMS Forwards (only much faster). I call it Speed Rating!

Invite your friends on Gmail, Yahoo & Hotmail

Now when you invite your friends to Vakow!, you can import your address book from Gmail, Yahoo Mail & Hotmail and easily select the email addresses you want to send the invite to. Thanks to the folks at Plaxo for building this nice little utility that we were able to use with no work at all.

Though, if you find this feature too slow for your use, send us a mail at feedback@vakow.com.

Post SMSes upto 200 chars long from web

We also relaxed our limit on number of characters allowed in an SMS, now you can post SMSes upto 200 characters in length from web. Let those creative juices flow, please.

As always, we love to hear from you so please keep sending your feedback at feedback@vakow.com.
