What is "blippy"

a. Characterized by blips (short sounds of a single pitch).

Blippy was a social media sharing site operated from Palo Alto, California by a company of the same name, for users to post and follow each other's updates about their purchases of goods and services. It has been described as the "Twitter of personal finance", and is often compared with Twitter because it is based on that company's open sharing model. One purpose of the site is to facilitate discussion and comparison shopping among people who are connected with each other online. As of July, 2010, Blippy primarily focused on social sharing of product and service reviews. The Blippy service was shut down as of May 2011.
