Pixable is a tool for creating photo albums. It was founded at MIT in November 2008 by Inaki Berenguer, Andres Blank and Alberto Sheinfeld. Pixable enables users to create photo albums using their Facebook content (photos, taggs or comments), pictures from Flickr, Picasa, and photos on their own computers. It is the first website that allows users to create and print photo books using their Facebook content. History In the summer of 2008 Inaki Berenguer and Andres Blank took a trip with a group of MBA students from the MIT Sloan School of Management to Japan. When they came back from the trip they wanted to create an album using their facebook pictures and the pictures published by their classmates, but had no way how to; at this point they came up with PIXABLE. In November 2008, while finishing their MBA at The Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), Inaki and Andres joined forces with Alberto Sheinfeld to start creating PIXABLE. Media Recognition Pixable has received widespread media recognition: * El Pais (Spain). * 30 Noticias (Argentina). * Hit Barcelona World Innovation Summit. * Idea Espacio (Mexico). Controversy Some controversy has been generated concerning the quality of Pixable albums given the low image quality of Facebook pics. Technically, a 600 x 400 pixel image can produce a 4" x 6" print. Pixable is able to print great 4" x 6" pictures from Facebook with a hardly noticeable drop in quality when compared to the photos printed at their original, full-quality resolution. Pixable also offers the possibility of uploading photos directly from your hard drive with full resolution. See Also
