Not sure about Radar, but the nice thing about Zannel is that they now have an embeddable widget for your myspace/blog.

@ I-don’t-need-an-ipodom:

No bluffing at all.

Alexa offers zero visibility into mobile traffic, and as Erick points out 80% of our logins are mobile. In fact, many of our users never touch the desktop web site; keep in mind the complete Radar experience is available on mobile, including signup.

(There’s also an argument to be made about Alexa not reasonably representing our audience, which tends to skew far away from the TechCrunch–and Alexa toolbar installing–crowd we’re all a part of, but that discussion’s been had already.)

i have been on radar for about 9 months now and it was great. all my friends are on it too so it is a lot of fun. the people bad mouthing Radar are just loners with no friends to have comment on their pictures. how can you talk trash if you have not even tried it yet? so just give it a chance its kick ass

600,000 users with alexa ranking 200,000+? even they just come to the website for signup, the traffic rank should be a lot higher. either alexa is totally useless or the radar team is bluffing (for what?)

Flickr does not support 200 phones and as such posting pictures from your phone to flickr is messy at best. Radar make this hole experience sooooooo much better….just try it….

iPhone users can upload their photos to their favorite social network (Facebook, Twitter, etc), photo sharing site (Picasa, FlickR) or even blog (Wordpress, Typepad and Blogger) using a dead simple service called iPhoneSlide –

I just got it after reading this article this morning and totally love it, had a few friends sign up with me and now we can all see what, we’re doing when we do it! The app for my phone is really cool too I would advise checking it out, definitely.

I use radar, and actually, unlike Flikr and others, the whole start to finish of posting pictures and viewing via the site or iphone is quite an enjoyable experience. The website is beautifully done, minimalistic in its approach but yet all of its features are very well done. Also, the way the Radar team talks to its users via its blogs is amazing, they seem like normal guys, who just want to give you the best possible experience, instead of some large company/corporation that can give a hoot less about you, but more about their money. I strongly urge nay-sayers to try out radar with a few friends, especially if you are a guy that doesnt have a purse to carry around a regular digicam in, however carries around his cameraphone. Give your camera phone some action!

Can’t you do this with Facebook Mobile too? This way all your existing friends on Facebook can see your photos and comment on them. Much better way of reaching your existing social network.

Another useless app. Are people running out
of things to do besides snapping another pic
and/or comment on pic?

Complete waste of life.

Yep, I text my pictures to my flickr account and it does a superb job. But if flickr wants to crush these guys, they can easily come out with a UI app. directed at iphones and pdas and make the process more fun.

Hmmm, everything that was posted about Radar is something I do with Flickr already.

“Whenever you snap a picture you want to share, you send it via e-mail to your Radar account. ”

Been doing that with Flickr.

” It appears immediately, and everyone you’ve invited as a friend can see the pictures and comment on them—either online or on their phones. ”

Been doing that with Flickr.

I don’t need another social photo network right now, nobody I know is using it.

Yes, I think the users are really enjoying the connectivity feature of this mobile app. It looks good to get newer pictures everyday and post comments on it. However, I would just go and check if they are also offering some option to monetize your pictures that you post on their system.

Why does it sound like twitter pictures?
It seems a nice idea, and the fact that its doubling its userbase each month in the past 3 months show that users are enjoying it and its viral.
Right now I have no use for that since none of my friends are radar’s users but who knows what may happen in the future.
