I love trying new stuff! I am not shy about sharing what I eat, where I go and what I think - so when Blippy just came out of beta - I signed up. I had no prior expectations set by media (just saw few tweets with the name).

I linked my netflix, godaddy and iTunes accounts… I followed a few people, 1 person followed me (sigh).

I forgot about it for a few days, then came back and guess what: after I opened up to the world (Blippy world) what I watch, what domains I buy and what iPhone apps I download I got nothing in return. NOTHING!

hmmmmmmmm

I dont see Blippy as a digital addiction (unlike twitter)

I dont see how Blippy will help me find better movies to watch (yet)

I dont see how Blippy enhances my domain name selections (yet)

I dont see how Blippy offers me to find the best price for a widget on Amazon (yet)

Privacy, what privacy?

I do believe that we are slowly but surely becoming the generation of openness. The more we share and expose our thoughts, successes and failures the more we learn from experiences of others. I believe we are also a generation of forgiveness. But at the end we are letting go or maybe just transforming the definition of privacy. We are all willing to share more of our private life.  So having said that, I would expect some substantial benefits from a service like Blippy in exchange for opening up my credit card purchase data.

Did I give enough time for Blippy to mature, gain the critical mass that it needs to become useful?  What are your thoughts?
