Ask HN: Please review my startup (www.spibby.com)

Spibby intends to be a game centered around check-ins and purchases (via the Foursquare and Blippy APIs).

Our minimum viable product is a real-time, user-generated stream of what people are spending on / recommending. We plan to gradually integrate location and purchases into this stream. Foursquare integration: A user will see a list of recent check-ins and be allowed to enter purchases made at these locations. Blippy integration: A user's credit card swipes will be pulled into the Spibby stream from Blippy. Points will be earned from a combination of swipes, transactions and Spibby posts (and the conversations around these posts).

NOTE: In its current avatar, Spibby might seem like a non-automated version of Blippy / Swipely, but that's quite intentional - we hope to integrate with these services and eventually build our game on top their APIs. The value-add around the user generated posts (that we currently allow) is the ability to discuss wishlists / cash transactions / questions before a purchase, which we think is quite significant.

We'd like to a) receive feedback and b) start building a community as early as we can. Spibby, right now, is extremely basic - we let you make simple posts and follow other users, but we've already seen some interesting conversations unfold between our initial users.

We're quite sure we're in for some really compelling feedback from the HN community. 1) We'd love to hear what you think of the concept. 2) We'd like to know if you think the path we're taking (from MVP to version 1.0) and our complete apathy towards stealth makes sense 3) We'd like your inputs on how we can make Spibby better

Thanks a ton in advance!
