Sequoia-backed Bubble Motion, which offers a Twitter-like voice blogging service in India, is bringing its service to Japan today via a deal with Japanese mobile communications company KDDI. The service, which has seen considerable traction in India, will be dubbed ?Koe-Now.?
Bubble Motion?s BubbleBlog platform delivers a voice-blogging phone service so that people can share status updates in their own voice with fans and followers. It essentially takes Twitter's model and applies this to voice blogging and mobile phones. These ?bubblers? record their voice update into their phone, and their followers everywhere are notified by SMS and prompted to click and listen. BubbleBlog has more than 2 million users in India.
