The only twitter-esque thing you’ll find me on

It’s called blip.fm and it’s fun.  Think of a song you like, any song.  Even international music–I’ve found a ton of Japanese stuff.  Punch it in, maybe write a comment, and blip (≈tweet) it to the world.  If listeners like it they’ll give you props.  Find other people (“DJs”) whose music you like and have their songs automatically arrive on your homepage as they’re blipped.

In short, it’s twitter for music.  So why am I happily blipping but refusing to tweet?

  • I love the new songs I’m introduced to–I’ve come across tons of music I wouldn’t have heard otherwise.
  • It’s an instant soundtrack for whatever I’m doing.
  • I follow DJs that play Japanese music and use the comments to practice writing in Japanese.
  • Instant satisfaction–five seconds after typing in a song name it’s coming through my speakers.
  • I feel like it’s something I can pick up and put down without people worrying where I went.  It’s a time suck, yes, but one I can manage.  I feel like if I got on Twitter I’d get stuck the same way I’m now “stuck” with facebook.

Here’s what I’m listening to right now–come join me!
