I’m working on a similar app, but we show related pictures, and… try to be USEFULL.

Visual Language is an important part of media literacy.

I was on Techcrunch UK on Tuesday a few days before:

Is this why this company posted already?

Hello-o-o-o. La-la-la,

Sure, this may seem like a far fetched idea, but it’s actually quite interesting and can be very appealing not only for the young crowd, but for a much wider audience.

As many, I too love movies and love movie quotes. There are simply some things that ask for a quote. We can’t help ourselves, we just say it.

Sure, the MSN approach might not be the best approach, but a company that has the legal rights for this kind of content and will manage to offer it in a large collection, can’t go wrong in my opinion.

Think of facebook applications, wordpress comments plugin, YouTube for quotes website, mobile videos and many more. Think of releasing new quotes from unreleased movies for a great and unique revenue model. Think of IMDB integration. There’s so much you can with this type of content.

After checking their site, I realized you don’t really have to download the application and after sign-up you can get the link for every video. So the only real barrier here is signing up, which can be changed soon.

Maybe they just need to change their focus a bit?

Asta la vista, baby,
Bond. James Bond.

A surplus of apps like this marked the crest of the last bubble… we’ll know we’ve hit the top for sure when someone gets funding for their “really cool 3D screensaver generator”.

Even better, what about an application that allows you to turn emoticons into full-length feature films!
