Professional photo sharing site 500px has debuted its new, improved image uploader that delivers a "clever redesign and elegant interface created to optimize your upload experience".

This miniature camera, currently being developed by a research group at IAMAS, Japan, allows you to frame scenes using your fingers - just as you would form a rectangle with your hands to help decide the composition of a particular shot.

Instagram, the hugely popular photo-sharing and filtering app, currently only available on iOS, is arriving on Android "very soon", having passed 27 million registered users in recent days.

2011 will be the final year of the Irish Blog Awards, Damien Mulley said during his closing speech at the ceremony in Belfast last night.

The 2011 Irish Blog Awards are now over and we've gotten the chance to finally share some of last night's images on Flickr. They're mainly before and after shots of the event, along with some other images we took around Belfast earlier in the day. Feel free to lift images and share, but please give us the appropriate attribution were possible.

In 2010 over 25 billion Tweets were sent and about 9 billion emails were exchanged. We watch 700 billion videos on Youtube, that is about 13 million hours or the equivalent of 1,500 years of continuous viewing (We hope you like piano playing cats). At year’s end it is natural to look back, to review the dying year and take stock of what has happened. This is what the world’s media has been doing this week, so join us on The Sociable’s review of the reviews of 2010.
