kwippy: Close network nano-blogging through Instant Messenger

Microblogging as name suggests is extremely condensed form of no-frills-blogging. Best example of this is tumbleblog, where a user shares his content, videos etc…etc within minutes without spending time on going through routine of writing a whole post.

Nanoblogging is even more condensed form where the content shared is in form of short messages. This has been hugely popular thanks to Twitter.

Now an Indian startup – kwippy – brings you nanoblogging with couple of interesting twists. Users can actually send messages via their favourite Instant messengers like Gtalk or Yahoo. The messages send through IMs are stored on your personal page or nanoblog in threaded discussion format. The user just needs to add kwippy as a friend in his/her Instant messenger.

The benefit with IM nano-blogging is that you do not have to go out of the way to write anything. Just post messages as you have been doing and all messages and status updates will reflect on the personal page in form of a threaded discussion aka nanoblog.

Wouldn’t it be nice to see a year down the line what you have been discussing now?

Unlike twitter, kwippy is more for close friends and family with the whole focus being on the Instant Messenger. The friends list on the instant messenger is the most intimate friends list you can find, of all social networks. It gives the people in the list immediate access to your attention. People share their joys (i got a raise), sorrows (i flunked my English papers), their favourite links, and thousand other things through their status messages that get reflected on kwippy.

kwippy is currently under private beta and on invitation basis only.
