We have all heard of social media, social networking websites, and budgeting software website. One company took those ideas and created an interesting mash-up called Blippy.
Blippy allows you to link up your credit card or online profiles at sites like iTunes, Amazon.com, or Netflix to create a purchase feed. The feed shows the community or your friends what you have been spending your money on.
What I Like:
The site gives you community support and a little external pressure to follow your spending goals. If you are trying to cut back, and tell your friends, they can catch you red handed buying DVDs or wasting money at the mall.
The feed function can be a useful supplement to using sites like Mint.com or Thrive.
What I Don’t Like:
If you like your privacy, this is not for you. If you make a stop at Victoria’s Secret to buy a present for your wife/girlfriend, they might be able to see it ahead of time.
If it sounds like something you would like, visit Blippy to sign up for free. You can sign up easily using Facebook Connect or the Twitter API in just a few clicks if you want to connect your accounts.
