Dabble lets users collect and share ‘experiences’ and attach them to places by pinning virtual ‘postcards’ on a map. The idea behind the app is that people will use their smartphones to create a virtual layer over the world filled with geo-tagged pictures and content that can be useful to others. The company was founded by former Googler and ex-Twitter VP of Business Operations Santosh Jayaram, along with serial entrepreneur Antonio Altamirano (Sun Microsystems, AKQA, Tangelo) (via Former Twitter VP Launches Dabble, A Photo Journal App)

One of the great ironies of our time is the sheer number of Facebook users who label their debauched post-Las Vegas photo albums some variation of: “What Happens in Vegas…” Obviously, very little that happens in Nevada’s party district, or anywhere else, manages to stay there these days. As long as cameras are on hand to capture the evidence, and social media networks exist to distribute it, the days of worry-free decadence are gone. Or are they?

Norte’s Photoblocker is a futuristic beer cooler that purports to do just what its title says: defend drinkers against unwanted interference from amateur paparazzi and day-after embarrassment (or worse).

For a few years after its 2004 launch, Flickr was inarguably the best place to share photos. But now Facebook and Tumblr are more socially useful, Instagram is more fun for the webtards, and newer sites are stealing pro photographers. At least that’s my theory on why Flickr uploads for popular events are falling. (via Flickr Is Dying. Here’s the Graph. | Slacktory | The only site on the internet.)
