Creating a Billboard?

Hey guys!
So I want to make something that constantly faces the user, a billboard I think.
What I ultimately want to do is have a message bubble over characters that the user can read. The bubble always faces the user and scales with distance(maybe). Am I looking for a 3D solution or a texture one? I want to dynamically change the text, I saw a resource involving GUI elements on 3D objects.
So how do I make a billboard, I figure this question is more relevant here.
Thanks!
