I didn’t know I needed it… but… I’ve signed up for yet another website this evening (thanks bsag!). I think this one looks quite good, actually.

It’s Blippr, a site that takes the Twitter approach to reviews. You get to make little 160 character media reviews; these are then are shared through the now-customary social networking approach: friends, followers, blipstreams, tags, comments etc etc. Plus some unobtrusive “Buy” links of course.

I’ve tried to do proper reviews here for the things I’ve been reading/viewing/listening to, but never got around to it for most things. Maybe 160 character blipverts will be easier.

The cool stuff comes, I think/hope, when they’re able to suggest things I might like based on people similar to me etc etc. OK, so I know the idea’s not super-fresh, with many other sites/Facebook apps doing similar things, but Blippr seems to make it easier. I think it’s got legs.

While I’d usually be hyper enthusiastic and recommend everyone sign-up IMMEDIATELY, the last time I did that (it was for Pownce) it turned out to be a bit of a dud. But I do have three invites for the closed Beta (that’s music for some…). Let me know.

    Alan, Thanks for the write up! We really appreciate it. We’ll be opening up soon publicly, so stay tuned. In the meantime, feel free to always be in touch and give us feedback. We’re listening.

    And we agree: it has legs!
