just a blip?

Posted on by Becky Green (was McMichael)

I stumbled across the latest site to be obsessed with this weekend via a number of Twitter feeds….blip.fm.

At first I just groaned, seriously questioning whether I have time for anything else digital but over the course of yesterday, I blipped a few tracks and started following a few familiar faces and it is definitely growing on me.

So what is it? In short, it is like the secret love-child of Twitter and Last.fm…

A music sharing site where you post short messages (like tweets…but called blips) with a track attached. The timeline builds up a story accompanied by music documenting your friends’ day. You play the timeline and have music on all day selected by your friends.

You can upload your tunes and give people cred (called props) based on what you think to their tunes.

You can also link it last fm but I don’t know how so check their FAQ for that.

Oh and you can send your blips to other soc networks like Twitter etc too…which frankly I find annoying but hey, just my opinion!

Anyway, blip me here and decide what you think.

link love

Some sites I stumbled across this week, worth checking out if you have a spare minute or two. This week is all about the gals…

Fellow female PR blogger – Susannah Wyeth @ Lighthouse PR’s blog

Lucy Mangan’s page on The Guardian online with a collection of her sharp, witty columns

Matthew Watson @ Rainier’s blog (I was introduced via his post about the lack of female PR bloggers)

who are your LOL pals?

Do you have a couple of really old friends who know you inside out and who you really really laugh with? Here are mine. We don’t meet up often but when we do it is like we are 15 again.
