Blippy tells the world what you buy

http://www.cnn.com/2010/TECH/01/21/blippy.philip.kaplan/index.html?hpt=T2

In Philip Kaplan's world, no credit card purchase is private -- not even the $70.06 "sexy gift" he bought from a gay-themed shop called "Does Your Mother Know." He posted that transaction online.

Kaplan is the co-founder of a new site called Blippy. On the site, which launched last week, people enter their credit card information and Blippy automatically sends out short, public "blips" of information about what people are buying -- including the prices of the items and where they were bought.

It's like the financial version of Twitter, and Kaplan, the 34-year-old author of the book and former blog "F'd Companies," who looks and talks somewhat like the actor Seth Rogen, says it's going to change the way people think about privacy and money.

Oh what a shock, another fucking kike on the scene making it "cool" to divulge everything about yourself eventually creating a generation of people who won't even know what privacy is.
