160 Love Letters
I think I found my new favorite…
Introduced to me by my first love Mashable. Who now owns this wonderful revelation Blippr. Congrats to both parties!
This addictive site is kind of a delicious combo of Twitter (short & sweet—review character count = 160—clean & effective) + Mashable (info I give a flying ant about that actually makes my life easier with helpful hints from users ) + LibraryThing (books reviewed by readers, not reviewers, & ideas for new books to read you never knew about ) + Amazon (because lets face it, comparing computer applications and software, while bagging a pile of books relating to the 15 movies you purchased earlier because you downloaded the soundtracks and loved them, is just something they’ve got covered. And as always, the omnipresent Amazon is just a click away on Blippr, so no worries)
A quick and simple place to read a whole bunch of very short takes on why so many people don’t like the application that you love but they don’t have enough characters remaining to go into enough detail to wholly prove you wrong so you can still depart feeling lucky you came across such a helpful “time vacuum” tool and continue on your way rolling your eyes in pity at the “professionals.”
I obviously have trouble fitting the things floating in my head in those boxes that count down my keystrokes I have assumed, now, that these stubborn text boxes are really an omen and I must, at all costs, learn to trim my thoughts… no matter how much time it takes away from the necessities of life.
It is lacking that obnoxiously cute, irresistible bird that Twitter has let loose, though. Perhaps they could use a hippo or something…
I’m done.
Cheers!
