How Much Did You Spend? Tell Me on Blippy.

yes I think it would be a valuable source of information. If people would be honest about what they bought it could let people hit the bullseye when they work the numbers.

fascinating? yes, creepy? with out a doubt. In this day and age I feel like privacy is just being deleted one letter at a time. I might be a little jaded since I have no cash or job right now so my account would read..."best friend bought a couple drinks for me at the bar lucky 13" or "girlfriend brought me to see avatar at the grand lake theater"........Not exactly bragging. But hay I did do it in this comment....so who knows

Have politicians sign up for this as mandatory... :D

This is completely fascinating to me. Thanks for the great commentary. Im not sure if I think of this as TMI, but more like a way to feel connected to people in a way that would once have been taboo. I don't need that much connection.

no

I generally don't buy anything.

This has to be one of the weirdest things I have ever seen. It is like the Twitter of money.

I don't think I would want everyone seeing what I spend on anything...it just seems weird. I mean, if people think Twitter is bad, this certainly takes it to a whole different level. This just seems like a bad idea in more ways than one.

Forget to censor that scandalous thing you purchased...oh well, your friends on Blippy know now!

after watching how some web pages can access to your personal information without you even authorizing it, i guess this "blippy" doesn't sound that weird at all, at least you are in control of the information that you share

I will never ever talk about my personal business all out in the open like this.
this is outright stupid. asking for problems later on if you start doing this.

Shuurre sarahlane, that hotel billing story wasn't about you... that thought never even crossed my mind... yeah right.... gufaw-ahahahaha

Why does it show up when you spend $0?

Surely we could be here all day with that? Today, for example, I didn't buy flights to Dubai, I passed on purchasing an army of pigmy horses and I refrained from spending anything on antique artworks.

I find Blippy fascinating for all the pro/con reasons you're all expressing. It's very polarizing! .... still not ready to share my bank card data, sorry ;)

Keep your business in your pocket which is where it belongs... ;)

so should i just start publicising my medical history and every thought inside my head too or....?

too much already on the net

Leo Laporte!? Haha, I remember that guy. . .

HOOKERS!? Weird example.

Too much info out there already. Try not to make that easy to find out about me.

Great! This will surely be used for evil.

How American

Not I, said the fly. I prefer my privacy to the extent that I am still able to enjoy it and I could not be less interested in the spending habits of others. Do not help Big Brother. He is doing fine without the aid and comfort of sites like this.

I still don't see the point. The only thing i could imagine happening is a situation where i would get pissed after seeing a contact buying a tv for much cheaper than i paid. That's it though. Pointless.

i like you sarah lane

Sounds incredibly creepy, I don't enjoy telling my friends what I spend on things (good or bad) so that information being available to the masses has no appeal. Also I think this falls into the "who cares" realm occupied by several social networking services.

... a hacker under the alias "Neo" wishes to learn the answer to the question, "What is the Matrix?" Cryptic messages appearing on his computer monitor and encounters with three sinister agents lead him to a group led by the mysterious underground hacker Morpheus ...

I think the real benefit here is that once your spending habits are public, or at least, available for scrutiny by your friends, that it would help some people who have a difficult time making good money decisions.

When it is just you and your own secret shame, locked away on a website that only you know the password to, you act differently than if all your purchases have a potential to be mocked by peers.

Heck, it could even be good for your diet.

"Do I really want this $8 charge at Coldstone Creamery for this mondo sunday showing up for all to see... Better pay with cash. =)"

Seriously? I thought there was going to be like some kind of benefit to joining like helping your friends stay on budget or comparing prices to make sure you're not overpaying for something. That would be useful. But just blattering on about what you spend money on is just ridiculous. Now corporations can just use the data for whatever evil purposes they want to. I don't know why but something about this makes me angry.

their will be some great information coming from this site after it has accumulated enough data. it may cause the market to be more competitive and keep mechanics from ripping off girls.

What an odd site, yet a part of me wants to check it out. I feel ashamed

bahahah so freakin hilarious. now when a friend goes out and buys something that you like you can blip about it and other people can lerk too, sweeet.... not really lol. All I know is that I wouldnt like my gf knowing how much I spent on her compared to the amount I spent being with my ex or do I?! lol/jk. I wouldnt like that lol.

I think the big question is: How much do you earn Sarah? Spending $0 on iTunes every so often hardly shares any of your info! Unless it was someone who I was really interested in stalking, this thing is very boring.

Last night I bought lube on amazon, how much did I pay for the lube; you will never know because that would be creepy.

Thank god I discovered this, I thought that I would have to only rely on Facebook and Twitter to make myself look like a complete tool.

So sex for drugs,...no cash changes hands transactions,...don't blip well?
Seems to me the most interested party for blippin would be the IRS,...lookin for the bloopers. Otherwise,...........yawn,....what is it ,..."Expenditure porn"?

------But just think of the entertaining trail you could leave,....8000 rounds of ammo,....I sex doll,...3 valentines day heart candles,....1 case of cheap scotch,....3000 Hallmark cards,....

way creepy - way tacky - way exhibitionist - tmi is an understatment - Facebook and twitter is more than enough

Weird, creepy, and like CalgarC mentioned, the IRS will love peeking at this. Or your boss, or your spouse, or your parents, or your kids . . .

i wonder how long before the government starts reading it lol
