For a while I was happy using ping.fm to post my status, microblog and other updates to multiple destinations. When ping started to go wonky a few months back (to be fair, ping.fm has improved significantly since implementing OAUTH a few weeks ago), I tried out hellotxt which offers way more flexibility but rarely works at all. Today I heard about pixelpipe, which I thought was simply a neat iphone app to upload photos to multiple sites. It is that, but as it turns out, it’s a whole lot more. Set up your own ‘pipes’ by choosing from well over 100 services, including friendfeed and posterous. Post updates, microblogs, longer form blog entries, pics and even video. Use routing tags to post to specific services. I haven’t really played with the iphone app yet (ironic considering I downloaded and set that up first before browsing pixelpipe.com) so I’m not sure if you can do video that way, but apparently you can push video with pixelpipe’s android app. Sweet huh? I’m looking forward to the day when pixelpipe adds more functionality for its routing tags (or maybe that’s there already but I haven’t found it), but the service works. That’s more than I can say for some others.
