Many of you already know that I am a hardcore supporter of Twitter. You have seen me flat out cut down almost any alternatives, most recently Plurk. So in my eyes it's a big deal that Kwippy left me with a sort of excitement feeling.

Kwippy adds a new concept to micro/nano blogging. It's based off of IM status messages being automatically posted as an update. However, it's real fun comes as a Twitter alternative. Yes, I said it a Twitter alternative.

The main things I like about it is there isn't a character limit. I know this pretty much kills the microblogging concept of it but to be honest it's easy to overlook. I think the main thing I like about Kwippy is how it is laid out as well as it's functionality. You can comment (reply) to each persons Kwip, and are notified when this happens.

The only thing I would like to see added (which I have already suggested) is the ability to turn off the updates via email. I don't want them taking over my inbox.

In closing will I be making the switch to Kwippy? In short no. But I will say this, if I go anywhere it will be here. I just can't use Twitter and an alternative efficiently at the same time. Good work over there at Kwippy guys!

If you would like to try out Kwippy leave a comment with you email address and Ill shoot you one. I only have 10 so first come first serve.
