Tiny Pictures Launches Radar Gallery

Tools

Posted November 6, 2007

Tiny Pictures, Inc. today announced the launch
of the Radar Gallery, offering subscription-based content channels to
users of Radar (http://radar.net), the leading service for real-time sharing of cameraphone pictures and videos between friends.

In the gallery, Radar users can subscribe to channels that offer a
collection of syndicated outside content, and content from Radar
promotional partners and advertisers. After subscribing, the user
receives daily content in-line with their friends' privately-shared
pictures and videos, both on their phone and PC.

As with personal Radar content, each item shared in these public
channels becomes part of an ongoing conversation among subscribers.

The gallery will feature the following channels at launch:
-- Hitman, a promotion for the soon-to-be-released 20th Century Fox
feature film starring Timothy Olyphant as Agent 47
-- Fuguu, a channel featuring publicly shared cameraphone pictures from
Radar founder John Poisson
-- IWOOT, a channel featuring the quirkiest gifts and gadgets from online
retailer IWOOT
-- Vimeo, a channel featuring the best videos from the Vimeo video
sharing service

In addition to these channels, the Gallery will soon feature
promotions for Hendrick's gin, super-stealth web project Nowheremen,
and a host of other brands and content providers.

"The value of the Radar experience lies in its ability to engender
conversation through instantly shared pictures and videos," said John
Poisson, founder and CEO of Tiny Pictures. "The Gallery is our first
step toward adding public content into the conversation, both from
within Radar and from outside partners."

"Radar gives our partners the ability to deliver rich sponsored
content across desktop and mobile, and into a highly personal and
addictive conversation stream," added Poisson. "And allowing users to
choose the content they wish to receive leads an important trend in the
evolution of advertising: we're offering a deeply engaging relationship
between brand and consumer, initiated by the consumer."

Properties interested in being showcased in the Radar Gallery can direct enquiries to gallery@radar.net.
