All you need to do is get online to find reviews, but they can be long-winded when all you want to know is, "Is this movie worth my time?" Blippr is an quick and easy way to figure out what the majority of people are thinking about whatever you want to know. They have everything from books to movies to music to apps.
You can quickly rank different things by clicking Loved it! :D , Liked it :), Disliked it :|, Hated it! :(. Mashable recently acquired Blippr and has started to incorporate it in their posts. An example is here. They have already added a plug-in for Wordpress blogs and other blogs are supposed to follow soon.
Another thing I like about Blippr is you can sign in using a pre existing account with Twitter, Facebook, Google, Yahoo, etc. In a world where you have enough login ids and password to make your head spin, it's nice to not have to add another to the mix!
I went ahead and tested it. I reviewed Hootsuite, which I love, it was simple and took about the same time as a tweet. When I finished with my review, links to review other websites popped up:
As a PR girl, I immediately see the usefulness of Blippr if it takes off. This could give you a quick glimse into what the general opinion about your company is in real time! I can only hope that it will expand to include companies as well!
Overall, I think this is going to be a great addition to the social media world. It is simple and feels a lot like Twitter which is great because it's a platform we all know.
