Reclaiming Some of your Precious Time

I create a lot of images and videos for the articles on VitaminCM.com. I also am active on a number of Social Media sites like Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, Flickr, etc. When I publish a new article it can take a very long time to upload videos to YouTube, 5min.com, Vimeo, and the rest. It also takes a while to update my status on Twitter, Facebook, Plurk, and FriendFeed. Thankfully, I discovered a way to save a ton of time that I used to spend doing all of these separate tasks.

PixelPipe.com is a free service that allows you to publish photos, videos, audio, files, and status updates to over 100 places at once in just a few seconds. What type of places you ask? How about Flickr, Picasa, Snapfish, Photobucket, and TwitPic for images? You have videos? Try YouTube, Vimeo, Metacafe, Blip.tv, and 12sec. Want to update your status on one of these: Facebook, Twitter, MySpace, FriendFeed, or FourSquare. Do you have a document or note to upload? Try Google Docs, Acrobat.com, Box.net, Drop.io, Evernote, or SlideShare. Did you want to publish a blog post to multiple places? Try Blogger, WordPress, LiveJournal, and Drupal. These are only a few of the numerous choices in each category. If you’re using a service, it’s there. Trust me.

    site. It seems like some of the text on your content are running off the
    screen. Can someone else please provide feedback and let me know if
    this is happening to them as well? This might be a problem with my browser
    because I’ve had this happen before. Thanks

  4. Hey there would you mind sharing which blog platform you’re working with? I’m going to start my
    own blog in the near future but I’m having a hard time deciding between BlogEngine/Wordpress/B2evolution and Drupal. The reason I ask is because your design seems different then most blogs and I’m looking
    for something unique. P.S My apologies for being off-topic but I had
    to ask!

    upon your web site and in accession capital to assert that I get in fact enjoyed account your blog posts.

    be on the net the simplest thing to be aware of. I
    say to you, I certainly get annoyed while people consider worries that they
    just do not know about. You managed to hit the nail upon the
    top and also defined out the whole thing without having side-effects , people
    can take a signal. Will likely be back to get more.
