As I’m changing the goals of the blog, one thing I want to do more of is review new social media mediums.
One of the mediums that has peeked my interest is Blippy. I first heard about Blippy from one of my co-workers and started following them on Twitter. It seemed like over the Christmas holidays they where giving out invited like presents, 20 or so at a time (guessing there) via an invite code they put out over their twitter account.
Looking around Blippy after an easy signup, it instantly made sense to me. I am not responsible for posting items. Items post themselves from my various consumer accounts (iTunes, Netflix, Audible, Amazon, etc). This takea the pressure off wanting to generate content. So, when I’m catching up on Doctor Who via NetFlix, I’m generating content for Blippy.
Now, when I get the time, and I find myself finding time, I get to catch up on what others are buying and that helps me discover new things in iTunes, Amazon, Netflix, etc, etc, etc…
Only con I’ve found so far is that there’s no way to sort by consumer accounts. Especially since I’m a new Audible member (@leolaporte finally broke me).
The folks at Blippy are doing a great job and I look forward to seeing what’s in store for this new medium.
What are your thought? Still looking for an invite? Comment below, I might have a few left…
