Caught In The Web

What are you buying?

That is the question Blippy.com wants to know.

In a site that looks a lot like Twitter, Blippy gives you an opportunity to let others know what you are purchasing.

I spent some time on Blippy this week as a non-member and just watched the site scroll as it continuously showed updates of users posting their purchases.

According to an Associated Press article, if you register a credit card with Blippy, every transaction bought on that card would be displayed to your friends on Blippy. (So you might want to hold off on the credit card purchase of any intimates, otherwise all your Blippy friends will know!)

The article said Blippy’s founders think it offers a new way to learn about deals and new products.

What I discovered is Blippy users mostly purchase from iTunes, whether it be music, movies or apps. It was nice to see what others are downloading on iTunes, but I want to see more variety.

Can’t wait for this movie… looks like it could be very, very good.

Saw the movie “When in Rome” over the weekend. Great film. I recommend it!

Heavy smoke billowed out of the Defiance Fire Department’s fire station Tuesday afternoon (1/19/10) as a squad vehicle parked inside caught fire. Click here to watch the video on The Crescent-News Online.

How can you go wrong with this? Sammy Hagar, Michael Anthony, Joe Satriani and Chad Smith have combined to form the rock band “Chickenfoot.” The CD has already gone Gold and continues to build momentum. This is a fantastic CD and worth the price, especially if you’re a Hagar fan.

Here are links to some of their videos:

This is great!

Creative, funny … and not a bad way to get a girl’s attention!
