On the Radar
If you’ve been following along, you know that I was looking for work in San Francisco for a while. During that time I happened upon a startup called Tiny Pictures. Led by John Poisson, former head of mobile media research and design groups for Sony in Tokyo, they’ve created a service called Radar, which enables fast and simple sharing of camera phone pictures and videos among friends. They were searching for an interaction designer, and I was intrigued by their service so I tried it out.
It didn’t take long for me to realize that they were on to something very special. I immediately expressed my keen interest in the position and I accepted an offer shortly thereafter. As User Experience Designer at Tiny Pictures, I’ll be designing much of the interaction across Radar’s web and mobile site. I’m extremely excited by both the opportunities and challenges that this will present.
If you haven’t tried Radar yet, I encourage you to join now and invite your friends. Also, be sure to try out the mobile service as well by going to radar.net on your mobile browser. We recently released a newly updated Radar client for mobile phones that Robert Scoble is calling a “killer Java app for iPhone.” The application provides highly interactive real-time sharing and commenting for your phone, with the same look and feel of the website. For a limited time, you can download the app for free.
