Some Thoughts about Blip (twitter for music)

I wrote about Blip.fm last week and since then, I'm pretty much addicted to this application.
Blip lets you search for your favorite music, then recommend song tracks to your friends, and you can add a short message to go along with the song link. Blip also connect you with Social microblogging sites such as: Twitter, Friendfeed, Pownce, Tumblr, Jaiku, and more. With a simple setting, all the music that you listen-to on Blip, will show on those services as well.
This is how Blip displaying the messages:
On Pownce (better):

On Twitter:

I have to admit, I like this new way of communication through music. It gets even better on the site (blip) itself, because you can exchange music with friends. Unfortunately, when someone answers you back, you won't see it in your Twitter replies tab. BUT, you can catch it if you'll search @+username on Summiz's search (as long as you have the same username):

BTW, Summiz is also a good engine if you want to find people that use Blip.
Overall, Blip is just a fun place to find new friends through lots of good music, but also a useful service that lets you update friends from other social sites, with music that you like. Don't know what about you, but for me, music is a big part of my daily life that I'm always happy to share with the rest of the world.

great app! I realy like the function of "listening through "tweets/blips you're following. For me is the best way to share music.
I really like listening to other people's playlists. What I'm missing (/couldn't find) is the option to fave specific songs from someones playlist, so I can get back to it.
