Radar Blog

We've spent a lot of time talking about privacy here at Radar. Such is the nature of our service: private and personal. You and your friends. But some of those moments you're sharing with your friends may want to be shared more broadly, so today we're excited to roll out a new set of features on Radar that let you open things up a bit whenever you choose.

A few weeks ago we introduced some new audience settings for your pictures. Click on one of your pictures and you'll see an audience selector in the upper right corner.

Last night we added a "public" option that allows you to make that picture or video available to anyone. You can pass the URL around to whomever you like, and they'll have access to that picture whether they're on your Radar or not. Your private pictures remain private, visible only to the Radar friends you choose.

More importantly you can grab an embed link to share that picture in a Radar widget on your blog or social network. And because Radar is about conversations, not just pictures, the embedded player also displays the comments people leave on your picture. We've even kept public comments separate from the comments and whispers your Radar friends leave for you.

And of course, this is all available on the Radar mobile site and mobile app as well, so you can read and respond to comments wherever you are.

This is my first publicly shared Radar picture: a classic shot of Ray, a long-standing member of our promotions team. Pass it around. Leave a comment. Let us know what you think.

And stay tuned for lots more to come.
