Kevin Rose’s Tiiny photo sharing app is gone

Kevin Rose of Digg fame has announced that his app Tiiny was shutting down. Tiiny was the 1st app that Kevin had launched after stepping down from Google Ventures to focus on North Technologies, his startup focused on developing mobile apps. Tiiny was launched in November last.

Kevin wrote on his blog: This isn’t another “so why didn’t xyz work?” post, pontificating on the how/what/why. At the end of the day Tiiny didn’t find an audience, and the product wasn’t a big enough improvement over similar services in an already insanely crowded space.”

“So what’s next from our little app shop? Well, we’re going to continue improving our second app, Watchville (which has been doing incredibly well — already surpassing Tiiny in total downloads and active users) and then kickoff our next project once we find something that passes our bar for new apps.”
