Tiny pictures, giant revenue

Tiny Pictures is a privately held company based in San Francisco. And for something devoted to being tiny, they are certainly making BIG money.

Press release for ya:

Tiny Pictures operates the mobile photo and video sharing service Radar, which lets members comment on each others camera-phone snapshots. Radar serves up 15 million mobile photos a month worldwide. Last November, the company introduced advertising in the form of public photo streams that movie studios and other companies try to get people to pay attention to. Blacked Eyed Peas singer will.i.am recently joined the company's advisory board.

As an advisor to the company, will.i.am will collaborate closely with Tiny
Pictures to promote his many creative projects through the Radar Gallery,
which offers subscription-based content in-line with Radar users' personal
content streams.

Mobile startup Tiny Pictures secured a $7.2 million series B financing from Draper Fisher Jurvetson.

Gadget of the day is Space Station

"An extended desk organizer for laptop users with internal coiling pins conceals all the cords that usually sprawl over the desk. Hovering just 5mm above the desk, cords are free to enter or exit the hub at any point – on the side to connect a scanner, the front for an iPod, the back for a laptop or camera. An internal 4-port USB hub will keep all peripherals connected. One USB plug exits the station right where needed to connect a laptop. Just tip the front of the SpaceStation up to access the hub and cords."
