Every once in a while a technology comes along that captures my attention and I start using it. In early 2007 it was Twitter. I immediately saw something in it—the way you could quickly get started, the instant gratification and the fluid conversation. I quickly dubbed it a "conversation ecosystem". Today, I just spent less than 10 minutes of my time playing with Bubble Comment. While I can't predict it's success—there is something here.
In mere seconds, anyone has the ability to leave a video comment on most sites. Here you can see that I've left a video comment on Seth Godin's blog (which ironically does not allow comments).
Will this new service alter our behavior? I really don't know. But it has a few things going for it:
1. Immediacy
2. Convenience
3. Multimedia
4. Ease of use
5. Accessibility
And as Stacey pointed out, this type of application could come in handy for deaf individuals (you can use sign language). Most importantly, it put a face, voice and personality to this whole Web 2.0 game. And as you already know, giving people a voice goes far nowadays.
