I really like this idea and especially like the idea of making it more of a "live event"

At a recent hackathon I was documenting how I was feeling and rough progress reports on the hack but that's just text with a time stamp. If Tiny could use my webcam to record what i'm doing and then create a cinemagraph-like loop of myself it would create much more of an acceptable reading for family and friends than just a markdown file.

Where I really see Tiny shining is the mobile aspect though. Tiny seems like it will be a vine competitor in the future where you can access posts and see a quick video in the background of a concert or travelling through some landscape. While reading you'd see the blurred movie in the background and you could click out of focus of the post the movie would come in focus.
