More talking, less texting. That’s the spin Sequoia Capital-backed Bubble Motion is putting on mobile social networking.
Where others who have come before, like Twitter, caught on with 140 characters or less, this start-up thinks people would rather leave voice messages than type out an SMS. A new service it’s started called Bubbly lets customers leave a voicemail-type message, which their followers can dial in to hear.
Along with original content and posts from across the Dow Jones network, this section of AllThingsD includes Must-Reads From Other Web Sites — pieces we’ve read, discussions we’ve followed, stuff we like. Six posts from external sites are included here each weekday, but we only run the headlines. We link to the original sites for the rest. These posts are explicitly labeled, so it’s clear that the content comes from other Web sites, and for clarity’s sake, all outside posts run against a pink background.
We also solicit original full-length posts and accept some unsolicited submissions.
