After a background in Finance at big name financial houses like Merrill Lynch and Goldman Sachs, Texas based entrepreneur Jeanette Cajide started to work on something beautiful and fun. After a long twisty road she has finally launched Blurtt.
Blurtt is an iOS app that functions as a “tool that allows users to express themselves” with text overlaid on photos. You can use photos that you take or photos off the web. Although it’s not integrated (only hipstamatic is), you can take a photo, instagram it, bring it through Blurtt, re-instagram it with no filter and add words while it’s in Blurtt (I promise it’s a lot easier than it sounds).
Cajide started Blurtt with the idea of sending beautiful postcards to people. When she started it she had a co-founder in Nikhil Sethi who moved on. Cajide finished Blurtt on her own and with help from Archimede’s Labs acceleration program.
More after the break
“Our motto is to say more with less,” Cajide told TechCrunch. “If a picture is worth 1,000 words, a Blurtt is worth a tiny bit more than 1,000.”
While there are several online tools to create humorous Meme’s Blurtt is actually the only one that is solely mobile. Also Blurtt allows you to chose and modify existing Blurtts so if you have a great idea for a Blurtt it can easily go viral.
Blurtt allows you to use 100 characters so if you’re used to tweeting you can refine what you want to say to 100 characters or less and voila.
You could liken Blurtt to the popular Android app Skitch however I found Blurtt to be a little more refined and a little more mature.
Blurtt is available now for iPhone but there is an Android version on the way and a sign up list for it on their website here.
