While finishing up my paper last night, I have concluded that I have exhausted everything I can do on Blip.fm. Over the past few months, I've interacted with other members, blipped over 100 times and have recruited a contingent of over 20 followers. I've received over 75 props from other viewers and feel that I have made a substantial contribution to the Blip.fm community. I've spent welll over 15 hours creating playlists for my listeners and trying to be the best blip.fm citizen possible. I like what John did below me, and I will discuss a little about my paper.
Blip.fm
Based on past cultural traditions - the website is identical to twitter. it just uses different names for the actions one can perform. For example, instead of a tweet, blip.fm refers to it as a blip. Re-tweeting is re-blipping. The layout is even identical. This made blip.fm easy to use.
Identity creation
-on blip.fm people create their identity through blip posts, pictures, and their username. This is the only information people have, so its interesting the identity that you construct from this.
Online communty
-On blip there is a certain language that users use for certain things, and once you pick up on this, you feel identified as an accepted citizen on blip,fm
Overall, I encourage everyone in the class to try it out.
