I saw this cool little app being talked about on Twitter, so I thought I would give it a whirl.

The service lets you create a 30 second video greeting that is placed over your Twitter profile page. How do they do it, you ask? If you take a look at the URL for the BubbleTweet I just created - http://www.bubbletweet.com/id/2ee5s – you will notice that the URL is pointing to BubbleTweet. It appears BubbleTweet is pulling in your Twitter page (possibly in an I-frame) then overlaying the video, and after the video is played the visitor is redirected to your actual Twitter page.

This all happens pretty seemlessly, and if someone isn’t watching the URL box when it’s loading they would never notice.

Despite the way they get it done, I think it’s pretty slick.

Let me know what you think … Scott
