I remember a startup a while ago which allowed you to make your purchases public, like a twitter for your bank account. I don't think it went anywhere, and I hope this doesn't either.

It was Blippy. From what I gather, they never could get any steam. They had tons of press, but it wasn't enough.

Just read this. See my comment. I didn't realize it had already been attempted. I'm surprised it failed. I imagine it will be reattempted. We are vain and we want everyone to know what we are doing, who we are doing it with and how much it cost us to do it.
