Web 2.0 kickoff: Blurb / Moo / Etsy party

Photo: the party was so packed that the crowd spread outside the pub

[Web 2.0] The party held at Kate o’Brien pub was a nice kickoff for the Web 2.0 conference! I got there early, so I got the opportunity to chat with Eileen Gittins the CEO of Blurb (picture below). It is interesting to know that Eileen is a photographer and she started Blurb because she could not find an affordable book publishing service that delivered well printed photo books in small quantities, so she created her own! She continue to test herself any new service or feature that Blurb launches, to make sure that Blurb customers will get what they really need. Blurb launched its Facebook app Blurb GroupBook at Web 2.0, read more in the full post.
