As everything on the internet becomes social, is it only inevitable that all of your personal information and private life matters will become available as a public offering? Would you give your 5,000 Twitter followers access to your checking account statements? There’s a new social network in town, in the form of a microblog, that is positioning their service as “A fun and easy way to see and discuss the things people are buying.” Blippy is stirring up some heated discussions on the internet and we used Social Radar to see what people are saying about this new social platform.

Blippy launched their private beta last week and got instant negative reactions as news spread through coverage from popular blogs TechCrunch and the NY Times.

With just over 30% of all related posts emitting negative emotion people don’t seem to think that Blippy is a very good basis for a microblog.

As Blippy is still only in beta, it will be interesting to see what happens as more and more people gain access to the tool. Have any of you tried it yet? What do you think of Blippy? Let us know!
