Are you a mobile mobile blogger aka moblogger? No doubt you're familiar with Shozo (www.shozu.com) if not you should be - the app saves you precious data charges that you get slammed with while uploading data (photos, videos etc...). Obviously you can post your pics to the web (ie. your blog, flickr etc...) Today another social networking resource devoted to sharing photos is now available - Radar from Tiny Pictures. From the company... This easy, free and addictive service enables fast and simple sharing of camera phone pictures among only your inner circle. The service is in free public beta now and Tiny Pictures is working with a couple of different device manufacturers (who target the youth market) to port Radar in a highly integrated fashion to their devices. See www.radar.net - at first take its very basic and it seems to take a bit of time for pictures to appear, however, it is in Beta so maybe something cool will come down the road!

Glenn,
I took the radar tour and found it really interesting. The data generated from these sites (myspace, flickr, etc.) could benefit:
+direct marketing
+social science research
+psychology
In that now, with the right tools (network analysis, sets, some spatial analysis packages) you can reconstruct social networks, genres, subcultures using photographic material... I was wondering if there is any body of literature dedicated to the combined element of pictures in 'sociospatial' context.
On the negative, could you see the combination of these technologies being used in the 'wrong way'?
Just thinking aloud,
Ryan Arp
