Everything about Blippy

Defunct social networking service

Blippy was a social media sharing site operated from Palo Alto, California by a company of the same name, for users to post and follow each other's updates about their purchases of goods and services. It was described as the "Twitter of personal finance", and was often compared with Twitter because it was based on that company's open sharing model. One purpose of the site was to facilitate discussion and comparison shopping among people who are connected with each other online. As of July 2010, the company primarily focused on social sharing of product and service reviews. The Blippy service was shut down as of May 2011. Wikipedia →
