JAlbum has partnered with Blurb, the self-publishing service for web content. The partnership lets Jalbum extend these social media printing options to its own users, who can use Blurb's tools to create professional, tangible photo albums/books. Access the new feature here.
If you've ever used Blurb, then you'll know it's a downloadable application that can now be downloaded directly from Jalbum's site. Once the book is completed, you can promote it through Jalbum as well as through Blurb for your friends to see, or for people to sell. Jalbum has actually been stepping up its efforts lately to provide more tools for serious photographers, and this partnership with Blurb is another move in that direction.
One of Jalbum's more recent upgrades was free hosting, which encourages more site activity and tightens the core functionality of the service. By adding Blurb's printing service, Jalbum tightens core functionality even further, making it less likely for you to need to go elsewhere for your photo book-printing needs.
