Enabling the Nokia N900 to the Social Web with Pixelpipe

October 17, 2009 · 15 Comments

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

Your media uploads will now proceed in the background after you click the “Share” button as you continue to utilize your N900.

Pixelpipe for Android feature updates

October 2, 2009 · 1 Comment

We’ve released updates to Pixelpipe Pro & Lite applications to the Android Market with a number of new features and optimizations.

The big new feature is that we’ve added the ability to include geo-location along with status/micro-blog updates & blog updates to over 30 services, we’ve been doing this for sometime with post with photos however have introduced the feature for text only updates as well.

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.

- You can now select your destinations on a per image, video or audio file basis. This is available from the Pixelpipe app by choosing “Upload to..” and from the “Share” menu found in the Gallery, Camera and most 3rd party applications

- Sign-up & Sign-in both are executed with-in the application. This provides better performance and a cleaner sign-up/sign-in flow.

- Now in simplified and traditional Chinese with distribution through NetDragon in China

Tips:

- Press the menu key in the application to switch between the photo, video & audio views

- Only the service that support the media type you’re uploading will appear in the “Upload to…” menu
