Bubbly is a social voice service working across feature phones and smartphones. For feature phones, users can record their voice by dialling a short code and speaking, as well as listen to popular posts. Subscribers get a text with the short code number for dialling into Bubbly’s servers to have the voice message play back. To cater to smartphone users, Bubbly was made available on iOS and Android platforms in April 2012. == History == Bubbly is developed by the Singapore-based start-up previously known as Bubble Motion, which was founded in 2005. The company has since changed its name to Bubbly. Bubbly received its angel funding of $5 million in March 2004. In 2006, the company raised $10 million in its Series A from Sequoia Capital US and India. In 2008, they received $14 million in Series B funding from Sequoia Capital, Comcast Ventures and North Gate Capital. In 2010, total subscribers on Bubbly surpassed 2 million. The most recent Series E funding in 2012 took the company's total funding to $50 million from a range of backers including JAFCO Asia, SingTel Innov8, Infocomm Investments and Palomar Ventures. Bubbly exceeded 25 million users in February 2013. In July 2013, Bubbly announced having a user base of over 30 million subscribers. The investors decided to liquidate the company in August 2014. Bubbly never folded or liquidated, that was false reporting. Bubbly is alive and well (in fact they are hiring: http://bubbly.net/about), and Forbes lists it as one of the 15 most successful social networks to watch in 2015: http://www.forbes.com/sites/ilyapozin/2014/12/17/15-social-media-companies-to-watch-in-2015/ 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Bubbly (social network)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
