Have you ever wanted to link your photo Tweets back to your Picasa account & your videos back to your YouTube account instead of using a 3rd party service like TwitPic & TwitVid? Pixelpipe users can now select their media host for their photos & video posted to services like Twitter that require a link back to the media
This feature isn’t just for Twitter & can be utilized with our Google Buzz, LinkedIn, Yahoo Meme & even our foursquare integration to name a few. Anytime you post media to any of the supported services we’ll automatically upload to your chosen photo or video host & send out a shortened http://pi.pe link to your status/micro-blog service back to the media.
Here’s a rundown of the new features:
- Host your media on Flickr, Nokia Ovi, Picasa, Smugmug & YouTube
- Utilize this feature with 12 services including Twitter, Google Buzz, Friendfeed, foursquare,
Identi.ca, LinkedIn, Plurk, Status.net, Yahoo Meme & even status updates to Yahoo! & Google.
- Full HD playback of videos hosted on YouTube, Nokia Ovi & Flickr.
- Feature works with your existing Pipes, just go to My Pipes & add your media host(s).
To get started simply:
1. Add a Pipe to any of the supported media hosts including Flickr, Ovi, Picasa & YouTube
2. Add or edit your Pipe for any of the supported status & micro0blog services eg. Twitter, LinkedIn & select your host for photos & video.
3. Profit!
That’s it, now when you post we’ll take care of the upload & automatically link it back to your chosen host.
Great! Can posterous be added as a host in the future?
That should work, we haven’t had time to test Posterous so haven’t enabled the feature. We’ll probably add it when we release blog support
Hello guys, Thanks for such an awesome service, however, can you add support to upload to my blog through Flickr or Photobucket. Thanks
Select your host for blogs is next on the list. Stay tuned!
Hey Brett,
Just wanted to say that your app is awesome! So good. I’m also just giving the “Select your host for blogs” a little bump, because that would be amazing to see.
thanks!
We want that feature as well, it’s on the list!
Hi,
very nice but what about hosting videos on Smugmug?
We decided not to add video hosting with SmugMug since video hosting is only available to some users. We’ll look into adding SmugMug video hosting if we get additional requests
I’m still smiling about this
thanks again guys. such a great service

I added google buzz, and my picasa account, but when setting it Buzz up there is only store video selection. There is no selection for storing photos. Am i missing something?
Google Buzz supports native upload of photos so there’s no need to link to another photo host. We only provide that feature when the service doesn’t support the media type.
Is there a way make it link to the picasa web instead of Pixel pipe when they click it in my buzz?

Can you support gallery3 or wordpress self host
http://gallery.menalto.com
We support WordPress self hosted now. You just need to enable the Remote Publishing option at your WP admin account and make sure the following two options are enabled.
- Atom Publishing Protocol Enable the Atom Publishing Protocol.
- XML-RPC Enable the WordPress, Movable Type, MetaWeblog and Blogger XML-RPC publishing protocols.
You can then add your blog at http://pixelpipe.com/destination/add/com.xmlrpc.metaweblog or http://pixelpipe.com/destination/add/org.atomenabled.blog. We suggest the 2nd option if your setup supports Atom publishing.
What about Vimeo? I wish it could be selected as a video host instead of PP or Flickr (who would put videos on Flickr?)
Related: can we turn OFF video to Flickr? So annoying.
Vimeo does not provide an API to let us know when the video has been converted & available. We can’t use Vimeo for status updates like Twitter
Oh, wow this is just what I needed. Can you add this option to the blogger pipe too?
Thanks
Hello,
I just read there is support to post directly to a selfhosted WordPress site… Will there also be support for a selfhosted Joomla site? There is a tool allready doing this (Joooid), but I would love to be able to do it from Pixelpipe. Less hassle, less different progs…
That’ll work now however you need to configure your server. You can find some instructions in this thread http://getsatisfaction.com/pixelpipe/topics/pixelpipe_and_joomla_cms_will_it_work_someday.
