Bubble Guru [via] lets you record a message with your webcam and display it in a bubble over your web page — a welcome message, or a quick tip or… an advertisment, that pops up, plays and disappears.

You could certainly do it yourself for free (the service will be free during beta plus the first three months after launch), but it would be more complicated. Or you could most definitely do without it, too. I’m not sure professionals should want to sign up for this (if you really want to have videos on your site, you should produce them yourself, integrate them into your layout, and have ‘play’ and ‘rewind’ buttons), and individuals will not want to pay for that novelty, but as long as it’s free it’s just a perfect fit for your MySpace profile.

Ah, wait — it’s JavaScript, so it wouldn’t work on MySpace, would it? There goes the only potential market.

Want to know when I post new content to my blog? It's a simple as registering for free to an RSS aggregator (Feedly, NewsBlur, Inoreader, …) and adding www.ff00aa.com to your feeds (or www.garoo.net if you want to subscribe to all my topics). We don't need newsletters, and we don't need Twitter; RSS still exists.
