Yesterday I blogged about a company called Radar Networks that just completed Round B of its financing series. Well, it turns out that Radar must be a winning name. Another company, Tiny Pictures—which offers a mobile photo and video sharing service called Radar—also just completed Round B of its financing series, pulling in $7.2 million from Draper Fisher Jurvetson and Mohr Davidow Ventures.

 

Previously, Tiny Pictures raised $4 million from Mohr Davidow Ventures and “angel invetors” Reid Hoffman and Joichi Ito. Funds raised during Round B, the company said, will be used for international growth and development of its recently launched ad platform.

 

Radar from Tiny Pictures enables real-time sharing of photos and videos between cameraphone users. It can be accessed on wireless devices, on PC browsers and through a series of mobile applications.

 

Tiny Pictures was founded in 2005 by John Poisson, who formerly headed up the mobile media research and design groups at Sony in Tokyo, Japan. The startup company is based out of San Francisco, California.
