In the latter days of the Web 2.0 the new trend is to make new web sites invite only, for what’s called a private beta. Like many out there i fancy a invite only thing, it makes me feel special and unique.

So when i read about invites to a new thing called Blippr i didn’t think twice, and believe me, I’ve received invites to services that I’ll never use. It was in that mind set that I’ve arrived at blippr website, knowing absolutely nothing about it.

After the registration, i start tinkering with it, trying to understand what the site was all about, and I was in for a surprise.

A good surprise at that, Blippr takes the 160 characters rule that exist in Twitter and Jaiku to a new height, by limiting most interactions to that amount of text. At it’s heart it’s a social network devoted to comments on movies, books, music and more.

It takes a bit of Wikipedia, by allowing the user to create a new blip for a movie that isn’t already listed on the website. It then searches for information on the web about the movie title you’ve just entered filling in automatically most information about the movie. I’m referring to movies, but the same can be done for books, music, etc.

It also takes a bit of inspiration on Digg, by allowing the user not only to comment on your blip, but to agree or disagree with it, much in the way of a thumbs up, thumbs down thing.

The site is slick and clean, the potential is huge, the approach is simple. I think we have a winner here. I’ll be using blippr from now on, if you care to get in touch just visit my profile at http://www.blippr.com/profiles/438.

As i said in the beginning Blippr is still in private beta, but you can ask for an invitation at their website, and you’ll probably get one in a couple of hours, so go ahead and try for yourself.
