Is BubbleTweet The Coolest Twitter App Yet?

Now and again you come across something that’s just so cool you wonder why no-one did it earlier. Tonight I found one, thanks to Kevin Sherman – bubbletweet.

bubbletweet

Allowing you to record a video snippet and then have it displayed on your Twitter page for any new followers or visitors to see, bubbletweet is simple and fun – always a good combination.

It also has a lot of potential for both personal and corporate branding. Imagine being able to tell followers your latest news or information, but instead of tweeting it you can say it?

It also offers a further personal touch to the already social Twitter experience – giving your followers a look into who the person behind the bio is.

Since bubbletweet uses a custom URL to host your video message on, the best way to use it is as a link from your blog, website or email signature. Once your visitors have seen the video and the bubble window closes, it then reverts to your normal Twitter URL so you control its use.

I’ve seen this application used on blogs before, but not Twitter. It’s a great little tool and I recommend you check it out, as well as Kevin’s Twitter profile for an example as well as other apps he’s created, while I disappear to record my own message. Look forward to seeing yours.

It's fantastic! I'm surprised we don't see more of it! I enjoyed it and would love to see other tweeters pop up on my screen and chat at me :-}

Danny,

Wow - great discovery! If a picture says 1,000 words, then video says 1,000,000,000 words.

Thanks,

John

Hi David,

Noticed that's something I didn't mention in the post, I've updated to show that now and best way to use the app. Thanks for the heads up. :)

This is pretty darn cool. Though I did see that people have to click on a different link to reach the twitter page with bubbletweet video. Looks like those who just click on my @dmullen page won't see it. But still, it's an incredibly cool app!

It would have been great if it integrated, but I still get most of my twitter "followers" from within the site. Cool idea if it can ever truly mesh into Twitters services.

I know Kevin, and his patent pending video technology suite of Bubble tools has helped me not only close business, but build relationships simply by 'being there' with messages when I couldn't hop on a plane to be in front of clients. When used properly, these short personal 'snipet' videos are perfect for sounding off!

I'm definitely going to check it out, any technology that incorporated micro blogging, video and social media is worth my time.
