About Pixable.
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 over 4 million users to discover and enjoy their online photos. The company's free application offers a unique, personalized browsing experience by aggregating photos from different social networks and then sorting them into fun feeds like "Best Photos of the Day" in order of their relevance to the user. Pixable also doubles as a notification service allowing users to follow friends' photo activity and be notified of newly tagged or uploaded photos.
Pixable has been featured in The New York Times, BBC, Newsweek, CNN, USA Today, Mashable, Tech Crunch and The Atlantic Magazine. It was also highlighted as one of the coolest companies to work for by Time Out Magazine.
