When a friend asks you about the move you saw last night, do you go into a long dissertation on the development of the characters, the plot lines, or the imagery?  Unless you’re a film major… probably not.  Typically you have a quick answer like, “It was awesome!” or “It sucked, it was way to long and boring”.  So, why spend time reading through lengthy reviews from some stuffy, elitist critic?  Try Blippr.com instead.

Blippr is a social review site that allows it’s users to rate movies, music, books, and games in 160 characters or less. Given the recent popularity of short messaging services - or “lifecasting” applications like Twitter and Plurk - Blippr has taken that concept and molded it into a nice little review site.

There are literally thousands of restaurant review sites out there, many of which have the same “standard” features; reviews, menus, locations, recommendations, etc.  What sets BooRah.com apart from rest is that it searches through blogs, critic review sites, and consumer sites with a patent-pending natural language processing technology to find and summarize the most relevant reviews.  In other words, it reads the vibe on the web about a restaurant and shows you the best summary available.

Now BooRah.com currently has official reviews for a few major cities in the United States.  But, after doing a quick search for “Tacos” in my area (Duluth, Mn) it still returned some decent results; A few chain restaurants and local joints as well.  Basically the same results you’d find in the phone book.
