BubbleTalk - 気持ちを泡にのせて、ふわりと流す新感覚SNS BubbleTalkは、気持ちやつぶやきを“泡”にのせて、空間にふわふわと浮かべる新感覚SNSです。 誰かの感情にそっと触れたり、自分の想いを静かに流したり。スクロールもタイムラインもない、心地よく流れる泡の世界を体験しませんか? 特徴 ふわふわと浮かぶ泡投稿 投稿された泡は画面上を漂い、時間とともに消えていきます(24時間限定)。感情に色があり、感情に応じて泡の色や表情が変化します。 気持ちのエリア選択 「近くの人」「学校」「カフェ」「公園」など、投稿エリアを選ぶことで、場所にちなんだ感情のやりとりが楽しめます。位置情報と連携して“今この場所”の気持ちにも触れられます。 泡瓶(お気に入り保存)機能 気になった泡は長押しで泡瓶に保存可能。気に入った感情の言葉をあとでゆっくり読み返すことができます(保存も24時間限定)。 匿名で、だけどやさしく 実名登録は不要。気軽に投稿でき、誰かの投稿にも共感できる仕組みがあります。 でも「報告」「ブロック」機能も搭載しているので安心して使えます。 マイページで自分の泡を管理 投稿数や今日の投稿数、保存した泡の確認、自分の投稿の削除などが可能です。 こんなときに使ってみて 誰かに言いたいけど言えない気持ちを、そっと世界に流したいとき SNSのようなタイムラインに疲れたとき 誰かの“今の気持ち”にやさしく触れたいとき 感情を言葉にして整理したいとき これからも進化予定 現在はシンプルな泡投稿が中心ですが、今後は共感数、反応スタンプ、テーマ別イベントなど、さらに共感が広がる機能を追加予定です。 感情に色をつけて、泡にして流す。 BubbleTalkは、あなたの“今”の気持ちに、そっと寄り添います。
