The Bubble Motion voice-driven platform offering is planning to roll-out Japan with a new deal to deploy via KDDI http://bit.ly/b34BCS

Bubble Motion has inked a new carrier deal in Japan for its BubbleBlog voice-blogging platform with KDDI Corp. The service, which is particularly attractive in markets where voicemail isn’t fully developed, is in the midst of an aggressive rollout in Indonesia, Philippines, India and Japan.

CMO Brad Porteus, which describes the services as a “voice-based Twitter” or voicemail via SMS, said the company has primarily been focusing on markets where mobile is often the first and primary form of communication. The service, which works on any phone system via interactive voice response, has already reached more than 2 million users in India. More Via RCR Wireless
