As I keep signing up to new services on a regular basis, I’d like to share my opinion with you. This week I tried Kwippy, Pixelpipe and Aviary (on a scale from 1 to 6, 1 is the best, according to German school grades)
Kwippy: 5 Like Twitter and Identica. It gets your Gtalk and Yahoo messenger status and let’s people comment on them. You can also share bookmarks and write short posts. Nothing new and for me it’s pretty useless. I’ll delete my account there now.
Pixelpipe: 2 Yeah I like that. Works great as far as I’ve tested it. Still there is space for improvement. The uploader I used was not so cool and not suitable for larger amounts of photos but maybe they provide something like that. I’d like to pic photos and then pick where to post them with checkboxes. You can change that but it’s not as easy as it should be, especially as I post different stuff on flickr and on twitter. Still a useful tool, cause you can see what you’ve already uploaded. Go ahead guys. It’s a great start and I’m curious where this projects goes. My last post was a pixlepipe test upload.
Aviary: 1 Pretty cool online photoshop, where you can collabotare with others upload, change, view sources and so on. Looks like a lot of fun, if you manage to get really into it. This might take some time because it’s complex but on the other hand that’s what makes it so interesting. I hope I will have the time to play around with this.

Like you said, Pixelpipe doesn’t seem to work too well for large amounts of photos. For me, after 10-20 photos the connection gets cut. And when I try to resume the upload immediately after, it just stalls. Not sure if it has to do with China’s internet or what.

I tend to blame China’s internet. Most of the time I have some problems uploading stuff to flickr here too.

If you didn’t yet stumble across the functionality, although we don’t have any in-application functionality that let’s you set where photos should go, you can just use keywords…
e.g. add @twitter as a keyword on that photo to send it only to twitter (make sure you’ve got a ’shortcut tag’ specified in the settings for your twitter pipe, and you’d probably want to disable ’send by default’ so photos are only sent if you add the keyword)
