We’ve written about startup Pixable previously because of its sleek web photo creation and categorization tools. Earlier this year, the startup launched Photofeed, a Facebook app and companion iPad app which will sort and categorize your friends’ Facebook photos. Today, Pixable is bringing Photofeed to the iPhone, and adding Flickr and Instagram to the mix.
Founded by 3 MIT graduate students, Pixable’s service allows people to use of all their Facebook and image sharing site photo content like captions, tagging information, comments, and birthdays to make albums, slideshows, calendars and nor artwork.

Pixable, which has raised $3 million in funding, even launched a nifty tool that allows you to make mosaics of your Facebook photos.
Photofeed for the iPhone aggregates photos from Facebook, Flickr and Instagram, just as it has done for its Facebook and iPad apps. The app allows you to browse, search and categorize all the photos in your Instagram and Flickr feeds and comments and like those images your Facebook friends have posted and will also sort photos into groups such as “top photos of the day,” and “Best of the month.”

There are a plethora of photo sharing apps for you to choose from, including the newly debuted and controversial app Color. But Pixable’s app is designed to be an ideal way for to intelligently, and quickly browse your friends’ photos on the fly.
With hundreds of millions of photos and videos being shared every day it’s easy to miss out on the ones that actually matter to you. Pixable finds the best photos and videos shared on your social network so you never miss an important moment. Pixable, founded in 2009, is a start-up headquartered in SoHo, NYC with MIT roots. The company has enabled millions of users to manage and enjoy their online photos. The company’s free application offers a unique,...
