I could envision a FB app that doesn't just tell people where you were at but also how much money you spent there. People LOVE to brag about purchases.

iskiran just checked in to Sacks Fifth Ave and spent $1500. -This will be the next step. After that, aspects of banking transparency. iskiran just received a $25,000 deposit.

I'm kidding but at the same time, humans are so vain, who knows?

Blippy is just such a horrible name for a thing like that. It needs to speak to the vanity that would be the impetus for such a thing. It's all about "competing with the Jone's". Maybe it could be called ispend
