The cofounder of Digg has a new photo app that's perfect for people who don't like to post photos or videos of themselves. It's called Tiiny.

Tiiny has a simple interface that lets you capture a photo or 5-second-long GIF, without sound. All your media's are displayed in a continually-refreshing grid that your friends can follow and check's out. Your images appear very tiny - at 212 pixels x 212 pixels each - and your followers can't expand them to see detail. Your friends can only like them. Which means you won't have to be look impeccable in every shot, because no one will see all the fine details.

But that's not all: your photos and GIFs disappear after about 24 hours. Tiiny wants everyone to know their photos aren't permanent things sitting in some album on your online profile for everyone to examine and scrutinise. You should feel comfortable posting through Tiiny because things are small and won't come back to haunt you.

Kevin Rose former American Internet entrepreneur who co-founded Revision3, Digg, Pownce, and Milk, only recently launched Tiiny but won't be phased if it doesn't become a huge hit like Snapchat, according to TechCrunch. The app only took three weeks to build at his mobile lab called North, and the small team behind it plans to release a new app every few months until one explodes in popularity: “It’s about having as many shots on goal as possible,” Rose admitted in an interview.

Tiiny is available in Apple's App Store as a free download. It requires iOS 7 or later and is optimized mainly for iPhone 5.
