I recently got an update from the folks who started the Blip’n'Beer initiative. The guys behind this party describe Blip’n'Beer as, “a party around the world with the same vibe. There’s no central command, no owners, just a bunch of Blip.fm DJs having fun with ‘unknown old friends’ in their home town…Blip’N’Beer happens as local [...]

Love it or hate it the holidays are here again. Whether you’ll be stuffing your face with turkey and Nibblets, organic locally grown roasted butternut squash and Tofurkey, latkes and sufganiyot, candy canes and sugar plums, or a bottle of 2-buck Chuck, this next month will be filled with plenty of reason to summon your cheer face. [...]

We’ve made a change in the way new music is added to Blip.fm search results. Instead of uploading mp3s directly to our servers, we’re making it easy to save the URL of songs that are already uploaded on your own server.    As many of you are aware, Blip.fm wants all artists to have the opportunity for [...]

This one is pretty awes. @Yan forwarded an email from one of our DJs about a simultaneous Blip.fm meet up in multiple cities around the world.   The idea came about when a few of our Brazilian DJs got together at a local bar in São Paulo, Brazil. Diogo Matheus, one of the creators of Blip’n'Beer, says, “a few [...]

We’ve added a new feature today to Blip: reblipping. I’m sure you’re all like us and have from time to time come across a blip you really liked and wanted to blip it yourself to share it with your listeners. This used to require you to search for the song, preview etc… basically [...]

We’ve been getting feedback that the site feels more snappy over the past few days, and there’s good reason for it too. Last Thursday we more than doubled the number of machines serving up Blip.fm. Without getting too nerdy, this means things will be fast and reliable even during peak hours. And, as more people [...]

For some reason it seems like all of our new features go out on Fridays. Generally, that’s not a good idea because there’s nobody around on weekends to fix any bugs that we didn’t find in our “Agile, eXtreme Programming” development cycle (read: we spent 20min looking for bugs). But we get all excited about [...]

In order to give you more flexibility with the song search we’ve added some features that will allow you to be more specific about what you want. By default the search looks at each of the keywords you enter and sorts the matches ranked by relevance so that you see the best match first. That’s [...]

“Props” be the currency we use for earning and showing respect among Blip.fm DJ’s. We start everyone out with 10 props to give when you sign up. If you appreciate a particular DJ, show ‘em by giving them props. If you want to increase your props score, there is only one way: by getting props [...]

Hey all, Per some feedback we received, we’ve added the ability to blip a song without automatically playing it, which obviously interrupts whatever current song you may be listening to. All you have to do is hold down the shift key when you click the final ‘OK’ button to blip a song and presto it [...]
