Bubble

It’s an asynchronous chat room for people talking about the same subject, or working in the same coworking space, and it’s heavily integrated with Twitter–so if you work in General Assembly and you want to share the blog post you just wrote, you could post in the General Assembly Bubble and tweet the post at the same time.

Details seem scant and since I haven’t received my iPhone yet so I can’t test this service yet, but nevertheless this seems like a pretty useful idea. 

However, my main question is this: will the highlight of Bubble be location? Location would seem like the logical fit considering and it would make a lot of sense since this would enable users to share their work/whatever with people around their area. 

I wonder, as well, what market would this service fit (beyond the GA/early-adopter crowd)? As a matter of fact, I think the usability of this app would be a great option for twitter users, should Twitter acquire this outfit - and thereby expanding the reach of this app.

Acquisition by Twitter or some other major player seems to be this app’s only viable exit strategy. I don’t see any robust revenue model spring from this app, and their best hope of long-term survival would be to be acquired.
