Review with Blippr

Have you heard of Blippr yet? This social review tool has actually been around for a while, but I only just discovered it and thought I'd share it with you.

Blippr is a social media tool for reviews. In 160 characters, users can write mini-reviews about applications, books, games, movies, and music. A mini-review, called a 'blip', also includes a smiley that represents your opinion about whatever it is that you're reviewing (see picture below). These blips are also automatically forwarded to your Facebook or Twitter account to share and discuss your opinion with friends.

It's "the easier, more social, and more entertaining way to discuss media", as described on the blippr website. I would also add 'fastest' to this list, because after you search for the book or movie or whatever it is you want to review, you can just click on a smiley, write a few well-chosen words, and post your mini-review!


Basically, Blippr is a lot like Twitter, except that its miniblogs are always reviews. Blippr even has the same option to follow friends and there's also a status function, in which you can post what you are watching, reading, or listening to.

Go check it out for yourselves and start 'blipping'! (I don't know if that is what it's called when you use this tool, but it totally fits in with the new verbs such as googling and tweeting, don't you think?)
