Now that the mighty Nokia N900 is making it’s way out to the public we thought it’d be a good time to post a brief guide to getting the N900 connected to the Social Web via Pixelpipe. Here’s a quick overview of how to get your N900 publishing photos and video to over 115 services across the globe with the Pixelpipe plug-in.
Why is this awesome?
- We allow upload directly to the N900 camera and gallery applications to allow for effortless publishing.
- Background uploads! Once you’ve started an upload(s) it’ll go into a queue and deliver your media while your N900 is available and connected via an internet connection.
- Use N900’s Tag Cloud to send to specific services at the time of upload. Just include the service name with an @prefix or create your own custom groups with our Routing Tags feature.
To get started simply:
- Install the Pixelpipe plug-in (only 27kb) from the N900 App. manager
- Authenticate or create a new Pixelpipe account.
- Add any services you’d like from http://m.pixelpipe.com/destinations/add
- You can now configure your preferences for upload from the Sharing accounts settings on the N900
- Select your media and set title and description
- Use the Tag Clouds feature to set tags for your media with a touch or use our Routing Tags feature to send to specific destinations with our Routings Tags feature eg. @twitter, @facebook
Your media uploads will now proceed in the background after you click the “Share” button as you continue to utilize your N900.
Please feel free to send any questions or feedback to nokia@pixelpipe.com.

We’ve added new functionality that allows you to pipe your media to individual pipes and define groups destinations by way of “routing tag(s)” contained in the post.
Here’s a brief overview of the functionality we provide for defining and managing your Pipes below
The My Pipes page is a simple interface for managing your destinations, anything listed as a default will be included every time you upload unless you’ve defined a Routing tag (see below). One nice feature is the ability to temporarily disable a default destination and not have to authenticate again.
To setup the ability to send to an individual pipe or group of destinations simply select ‘Change Settings’ from the ‘Add Pipes’ page. From here you can set a unique ‘Display name’ for your destination as well as define ‘Routing tag(s)’.
Basically you can define a tag with @Routing tag to your upload and have that media delivered to any destination with the same Routing tag. It’s actually really easy, just keep these rules in mind.
- Including a Routing tag will override your default destinations and only deliver to destinations with the included routing tag(s).
-Routing tags do not currently work with email uploads however are supported with our other desktop and mobile upload solutions
- Routing tags don’t need to be unique, and you can add multiple short names to create groups of accounts, just separate each with a comma.
Example setting up Routing Tags under My Pipes:
Pipe 1 Routing tag @: facebook,personal,all
Pipe 2 Routing tag @: flickr,public,all
Add the keyword @personal or @facebook and it will be sent to Pipe 1, add the keyword @all and it will be sent through both pipes.

We’ve recently added functionality that allows you to select a delay as to when we post to your blog to allow for the media to be grouped as opposed to a number of individual posts.
The default value is set to a 5min delay between the first upload and the actual post however it’s user configuable by editing your blog options under My Pipes. We also include the ability to send your media to specific destinations or groups of destinations based on Short names or tags, a description of the feature can be found here http://is.gd/1UOs
The option that allows you to specify when your media will be sent can be found under ‘Post items’. The choices range from send immediately which will post as soon as we receive it to everyday where we’ll collect all of your uploads and post at the end of a 24 hour period, the choice is yours.
