Blippr is a site that replicates some micro blogging sites such as Twitter, and offer users a place to share their reviews on books, games, movies, music in a maximum 160 characters. There are many people know that product review is important, but few realize that one can do a review in less than 160 characters.
With blippr’s 160-character length limit, it’s sound like users that wrote the reviews know much about the Internet slang, and are belong to the group who prefer to write short instead of long text of product reviews. To better determine whether 160-character length limit is enough for one to complete a sound product review, you can go to the front page of blippr, and measure the review/opinion of the reviewer about a particular game or movie, or etc. To a lot of people, time equals life. I’d like to imagine that a lot of people would like to visit this kind of site and get the review of a particular movie before they found out the movie really bug them, and simply a waste of time after they watched the movie.
Of course, encouraging people to do the product review on the Web and also mass the opinions for the benefit of public is something that worth to do. Blippr did offered some Web 2.0 features such as users can agree or disagree on a particular review, as well as show off their emoticons such as love it, like it, whatever, or dislike it. In addition, visitors can also find “hot this week,” “all-time favorites,” and “most blippd” on the sidebar found on blippr. Meanwhile, blippr has already integrated with a number of services such as Facebook, FriendFeed, Profilactic, and Twitter. Other services such as Jaiku, Plurk, and Pownce is on their way soon.
