Yesterday was a busy day here at Radar headquarters, and the culmination of a great deal of planning. We introduced the Radar Gallery, a brand new destination that will be the site of a whole lot more action in weeks and months to come.

The gallery is host to several new categories of content: publicly shared Radar posts, pictures and videos from outside Radar that we think you'll find engaging or amusing, and content from some of our partners.

The idea is simple: go to the gallery, have a look at what's new, and subscribe to channels you think are interesting. These channels will be added to your Radar, and just as with pictures and videos from your friends, you'll be able to view and comment on them from wherever you access Radar: on your phone, your PC, or the Facebook app.

We're launching the gallery with a few representative channels:

Hitman, with exclusive content from the 20th Century Fox film hitting theaters November 21
fuguu, on which I've shared my favorite Radar moments publicly (kind of like a visual version of Tom from MySpace)
IWOOT, a channel featuring quirky gifts from online retailer I Want One Of Those
Vimeo, featuring the best videos from our friends at the popular and smart video sharing service Vimeo

We'll soon be launching more, including a Hendrick's Gin promotion, and a very special channel for the super-stealthy Nowheremen project. (To be totally honest, even ~we don't know much about Nowheremen, so we'll be following along with you and trying to figure it out.)

There's far more in store, to be sure, from some hugely popular music acts, to the brands you love, to the best of the best Radar content shared more broadly.

We hope you enjoy adding these channels to your Radar and watching this area evolve. Do let us know what else you'd like to see. And if you're using Radar for something special and crave a wider audience, get in touch about being featured. Enjoy.

Wow! this definitely makes me want to buy the itouch, just so I can have radar on there. It's an awsome idea that I'm sure will get huge soon. I'm just happy that I can finally share my pics and vids with my friends!!!

Honestly, we don't know much more than you do Drew, except that nowheremen will keep evolving for a while. Stay tuned!
