While we were a bit disappointed that Google didn’t make an input API that we could utilize for publishing available initially, we have to applaud Google for making it so easy for users by connecting to so many integrated services that we already support.
Getting started publishing to your Buzz feed from any of our +20 supported applications is easy, the hard part is just figuring out the right one(s) to include in your Buzz. Here’s a breakdown of the applications that can be added as a “Connected site” and our capabilities with the service and Buzz.
Twitter: When linking your Twitter account to Buzz and posting through Pixelpipe you’ll get the Tweet and a shortened link back to a http://pi.pe/ page if there is any extended text & media (photo, video, audio, file) as well as a Google Map when geo-location is included in the post in your feed.
Blogger: Posting to Blogger through Pixelpipe results in a great experience, you can make text only posts from any of our supported applications as well as media that will be displayed in the Buzz feed.
GTalk: Posting to our GTalk Pipe will update your status & include a pi.pe link to any media with a map if geo is enabled. The only thing to watch out for is that the post does not persist and will change when you update your status.
Picasa: Provides the Title & description as well as an embedded video or photos in your Buzz feed
Flickr: Provides the Title & description as well as an embedded video or photos in your Buzz feed
YouTube: Provides the Title & description as well as an embedded video in your Buzz feed
After selecting the service(s) you’d like to include just follow the instructions under connected sites in your Buzz dialog to configure the specifics.
While we can’t wait for a direct integration with Buzz, we’re happy with the launch capabilities and thrilled with the prospects Buzz will provide.
Happy Buzzing!

The Geo-Status feature works by enabling the “Geo On” button when posting to Pixelpipe. We’ll then include a link to a pi.pe page with a Google map for services that don’t yet support geo updates like Facebook & Blogger. For services like Friendfeed (& Twitter soon) that do support geo-tagging we will pass the coordinates to the services via APIs which will display a map along side the post. This feature is initially exposed on our new Android clients however will be rolled out to our integrations with Nokia and iPhone soon.
New features:
- Ability to include geo-location along with status/micro-blog updates, blog posts and even e-mails.
