Including Photo, Video, Audio, PDFs & more with your status and micro-blog posts

January 15, 2009 · Leave a Comment

Hot on the heels of our recently announced support for text only posts to status & micro-blog services we’ve just released a new feature that allows you to include media and other files with your post. Since the majority of these services only support short text based posts we’ll publish your post for you and include a shortened link back to the original file hosted on our server. We display your photo & automatically playback video and audio files and provide a link back to the original for other file types.

Here’s a quick rundown on the capabilities and some tips on usage:

Q. What services are supported?

A. This feature is currently supported with our integrations with Twitter, MySpace, FriendFeed, Jaiku, Ping.fm, kwippy, Rejaw, identi.ca, plerb, brightkite & Facebook. More coming soon!

Q. How’s it work?

A. Use any of our massive suite of applications for desktop and mobile to post photos and video to any of your pixelpipe destinations. If the service is a micro-blog or status service that only supports text we’ll automatically create a link back to the file to be included with your post. Here’s an example of a landing page that includes video http://tinyurl.com/88fygo

Q. Can I post to multiple services at the same time?

A. Yes of course, you can send to any or all at the same time and even multiple accounts on the same service. With one post you can update your twitter, Jaiku, Facebook… status with either plain text or text with linked media.

Q. How do I send a document or file?

A. We currently support the ability to post non-photo/video content either via the ‘Quick Post’ dialog on pixelpipe.com or via MMS/Email using your private upload address. Your personal upload address can be found under settings after logging into pixelpipe.com.

Q. What if I only want to send some uploads to these services?

A. We have a feature called “Routing Tags” that enables you to selectivly send your uploads to individual services or groups by simply tagging the item in advance of upload. More on this feature can be found here.

Q. Any tips for usage?

A. If you are a heavy uploader then we recommend disabling automatic delivery to these services and activating them when needed by use of routing tags. You’ll save your followers from receiving individual updates everytime you upload through Pixelpipe.

We’ve added support status/micro-blogs and text only publishing at Pixelpipe

January 3, 2009 · 10 Comments

We’ve released support for a number of popular status/micro-blog services as well as the ability to send text only posts for status and blog updates. While this feature is pretty great on it’s own it only gets better when it’s combined with images and uploaded from any of our huge selection of mobile and desktop tools where we’ll link back to the photo uploaded for text only services like Twitter.

Imagine updating your status from iPhone, Picasa, iPhoto, Aperture, Lightroom, Android, MMS/email… and having that update go out to all of your followers on Twitter, Jaiku, Facebook & brightkite all at the same time with a link back to your photo and you’ll get the idea.

These new features and destinations are all live and available for use immediately. We love your feedback, if you have any comment please feel free to get back to us with your thoughts.

New destinations: Jaiku, Ping.fm, kwippy, Rejaw, identi.ca

Services that support text status updates: Facebook, Twitter, Jaiku, brightkite, Ping.fm, Rejaw, kwippy, identi.ca

Services that support text blog posts: WordPress, TypePad, Blogger, LiveJournal, MovableType, Drupal and most other Atom enabled or MetaWeblogs
