Social Image Networking with Radar

You’ve seen the social image sites such as Flickr, but have you seen one that is geared more toward cell phone pictures and social networking? The San Francisco company Tiny PIctures, Inc. has created a company that uses uploaded cell phone pictures as a method of social networking.

The idea is that you take a cool picture with your phone and you want to tell your friends about it. Instead of sending to 50 different friends texting and using up all your credits you can send it to your Radar account and the same 50 people can see it on the website. Even people without camera phones can use the site. Just send a picture with your email client to the site and it will post to your account. Once a picture is posted then your friends on the site can make comments.

Friends are made the same way as with MySpace and FaceBook: People see your link and add you as a friend and you either accept or deny their friendship. Pictures can be made public or private. The pics can also be posted to your blog as a single photo or as a ‘latest picture’ widget in your blog or website as shown below:

I haven’t seen too many widgets similar to Sociable or Social Links that have the Radar code yet. It would be nice if they would add the code so we can add the link to the page. It’s not exactly as the same kind of marketing, but if someone does come up with a great picture I’m sure that the masses would like to know about it.
