Social Media Savvy

Blippr is a new service that allows people to provide really short reviews about apps, music, movies, games and books. Users can select whether they love it, like it, dislike it or hate it and then they are prompted to write 160 characters explaining their rating.

This is an interesting mesh of the quick and short character limits of things like Twitter with the standard rating tools. People who use these types of tools are labeled "Critics", see my last post to plug in your population data to see what percentage are critics and would use a tool like this.

The most interesting feature in blippr for me is the app rating, this is a great way to see how apps are being rated and I imagine that it would make it pretty easy to spot trends before they go mainstream.

Being on blippr is addicting, it is so easy to offer a review that you might just find yourself clicking away! You don't have to be a member to see any of the content on the site or even to review, which is another step that makes it easy to use and it also means that the content pool is probably larger and much more of a mix of people of different adoption stages than if it was a member only tool that had to be logged into to use.
