It really amazes me some of the things people like sharing online. At first Twitter seemed like an idea that not many people would be attracted to. I mean who wants to write little 140 character blips about what they are doing, right? Twitter has taken off like crazy, and now there is a new kid on the block that utilizes some of Twitters ideas.

Swipely, a credit card purchase sharing site launched out of it’s invite only phase this morning. The site basically allows one to connect their credit card to their account, and each and every time they purchase something with that card a message will be posted in a Twitter like format for all their followers to see. Unlike Blippy, a similar site which has had it’s share of privacy slip ups, Swipely does not give the actual price a person paid for a product or service. It instead just shows what was purchased and when.

There has been much debate about whether or not people would really be interested in sharing all their credit card purchases with their friends and family, however, in the early going it seems to be catching on quite fast. You may want to forgo registering at Swipely however if you purchase things that you may be embarrassed by others knowing, such as Preparation H, womans underwear if you don’t have a girlfriend, etc.
