Have you ever wanted to say more on Twitter then a 140 characters or a few lines of text and a photo? We’ve introduced a new feature that will automatically group media from your Twitter uploads into one post based on a specified amount of time including your geo-location. The best thing about this feature is that it happens automatically, you just specify the amount time from 2min to a full day and we’ll hold your uploads and send just one shortened pi.pe link to Twitter.
Each Pixelpipe pi.pe page can contain a combination of photos, video, audio & even files, the contents of the uploads are posted with the oldest at the top so your viewers can see your story in the order you posted. A good example of usage would be a vacation where you’re posting photos & videos with a 24 hour delay for grouping before we post a single Tweet to your followers. A more typical example would be a few posts with our default 5 min delay as you’ll find in this example from my lunch at Bento415 yesterday http://pi.pe/-wtj94p.
Here’s an example of a pi.pe page demonstrating the media uploaded, geo-location and our new previous uploads stream view (on the right). One item to note is that the previous uploads view is specific to this Pixelpipe service and will only contain media you’ve uploaded to this specific Twitter Pipe. What this means is that your family pictures uploaded to Kodak for example will not be viewable in this stream, only the pictures you’ve previously uploaded to this Twitter Pipe.

It is not clear to me how to set up a pipe, from any supported client, that only uploads media to pixelpipe (with a pi.pe url) and posts to twitter at the same time.
Just add a Twitter Pipe to get the pi.pe URLs to Twitter. You can add Twitter at http://pixelpipe.com/destination/add/com.twitter
Is there a way to stop this pi.pe link from going? I’m already using bit.ly and I do not want both links there. Make sense?
You don’t want the pi.pe link posted to Twitter? If that’s the case you can disable Twitter (or any service) as a default under My Pipes and we won’t send a pi.pe link.
Is there a way to still post via a twitter pipe, but not have the pi.pe link?
Say I want to post to facebook, twitter and myspace, all the same content, but do not want a pi.pe link to attach to the twitter post.
Is this an option? If not, is this a possible feature request?
If you are posting text only and under 140 characters there will be no pi.pelink. We only introduce a link when your post is longer then 140 characters or contains media. If you’d like to use another service for the links we support TwitPic, TweetPhoto, yfrog and a few others.
Is anyone going to explain “HOW” to use this feature? I know what it does, but there is no explanation of what steps to perform here or on the site. (At least not that I can find.)
Just add Twitter as a Pixelpipe service, you’ll see the dialog to set a delay for grouping of media (default is 5min) in the My Pipes page. Set your delay time and the rest is automatic. Give it a shot & let us know if you have any questions.
