Blurb [iTunes link], which started off as a self-publishing startup for book makers, released its iPhone app in April -- a beefed-up photo and video-sharing app that lets users create shareable stories using photos, videos and audio sourced from their devices.
Before, users could get social by sharing stories on Facebook,Twitter and email, but now Blurb has added an element that was already present in apps of Instagram's ilk: a social stream. Now, you can connect the app to your Facebook and Twitter accounts and instantly see a stream of stories created by friends using Blurb. Users also now have the ability to comment within the app.
In addition to these tweaks, Blurb also rolled out an iPad app Thursday. It's basically the same as the iPhone app, but presents the user with a much bigger canvas -- and screen -- for story creation. We can see Blurb on the iPad being a wonderful tool for creating presentations and scrap-booked home movies.
Blurb is only available on iOS devices.
