The Venture of the Week: www.bubblemotion.com

May 3, 2011 | admin

Every Week The Asia Career Times features a promising Venture linked with Asia. This week we are pleased to welcome bubblemotion. TACT sees no reason why bubblemotion should not meet twitter success in the Future.

Bubble Motion is pioneering social messaging for mobile phones. Bubble Motion’s Bubbly™ is a social messaging service where people share SMS and voice updates with friends, family, fans and followers. Bubbly is like ‘Twitter with a voice Eand brings social networking to mobile phones.

Bubble Motion is a run by a team of industry veterans who have built numerous successful companies in both the mobile and internet industries. Bubble Motion is funded by Sequoia Capital, Palomar Ventures, Comcast Interactive Capital, Singtel Innov8 and Infocomm Investments. The company is headquartered in Singapore.

Why Do People Love Bubbly?

It’s Fun to Share
Share your updates in your own voice and with feeling and emotion. Let your followers hear what you have to say – anytime, and from anywhere.

It’s Fun to Listen
Follow your friends, family members, and favorite celebrities. As a follower, you’ll get notified via SMS whenever someone you follow records a new update. You can listen in, whenever you want.

It’s Easy to Use
To post your update, simply dial a short-code (for example *7*), record your message, and hang up – it’s that easy. To hear bubbles that were recorded by those whom you follow, simply click and listen.

Connect With Your Audience
Individuals love Bubbly to broadcast their updates to the people they care about most.

Celebrities and stars love Bubbly as it allows them to authenticallyconnect with their fans, while protecting their privacy. Custom short codes enable followers to subscribe to updates, without needing to know the bubbler’s actual phone number.

Bubblers always have full control over who can (and can’t) listen to their updates.

Who Uses Bubbly?

• Celebrities for reaching out to fans through day-to-day voice updates
• Everyday people for staying close with family and friends, both near and far
• Publishers (e.g. BBC, Bloomberg) for distributing audio content with mobile audiences
• Super-fans (sport, celebrity, fashion) for reveling with those who share their passion
• Business owners for promoting products and services to their customers
• Religious leaders for inspiring their followers
• Community groups (schools, organizations) for informing and mobilizing their members
• Employers for keeping employees aligned and informed
• Subject matter experts (e.g. finance, politics, news) for sharing their expertise
• Literally anyone who has something to say

Why Mobile Operators Are Excited About Bubbly

Proven technology and infrastructure
Bubble Motion’s underlying technology platform has long been in operation across a global footprint of existing operators. In fact, more than 100 million individuals have exchanged more than 1 billion bubble messages across the existing network. Bubbly has come about by creating a social messaging service on top of existing infrastructure, leveraging the massive consumer trends around sharing and connecting that are prevalent on the Web.

Giving customers what they want
There is no denying the hunger consumers have to connect with their world. Operators have recognized that delivering great customer experiences helps build long lasting (and profitable) relationships with loyal customers.

Incremental revenue
Declining revenue per subscriber (ARPU) is a reality for many operators in fiercely competitive markets (who isn’t?), and hence the importance of value added services (VAS) revenue for telecom operators. By offering features that drive phone usage (text and voice), operators are able to use Bubble Motion to drive new sources of revenues, while leveraging existing infrastructure investements that would be otherwise untapped.

Easy implementation
Already deployed with major carriers, Bubble Motion has the technology and expertise to painlessly install and support the Bubbly infrastructure with you. Best of all, there are no client applications required for your customer-base, no special plans, no sign-up. For users it’s plug-and-play.

Minimal investment required
Leverage existing infrastructure investments (voice circuits, SMSC, billing systems).

Flexible deployment options
Deployed or centrally hosted options available for fast time-to-market.
