Have you ever been let down by the limited number of services supported by Share Online application onboard the symbian OS? With the amount of online media sharing happening these days, its difficult to stick with just 4 services and just when things were getting out of our control, we happen to try this amazing plugin for Share Online- Pixelpipe.
Pixelpipe is a one stop solution for all your media sharing needs and make no mistake we are not exaggerating whatsoever here. With support for over 100 online services, you are gonna run out of media to upload but not supported services on Pixelpipe. Screenshots and a brief review after the break.
Screenshots-
Before dwelling into the features of this powerful app, let us cover some basics first. The very first thing you will notice is that users need to sign up for a pixelpipe account to be able to use this app on our 5800s. The whole sign-up process is simple and can be done directly from the app itself. The next thing is set up the various pipelines: that is validate different services by keying in login info of each service and authorising pixelpipe to load data. This is probably the only thing thats gonna bother users for the app works like a charm on 5800s once the setup is complete.
After installation and setup, users can find the load to pixelpipe service added to the share online app. Depending on the services authorised, the images (video and audio too) are uploaded to the corresponding services right from the share online app. This is a great time saver and extremely handy for mediaholics like us who feel like sharing every other file we encounter, be it a cool photograph we just captured or a mindblowing incident we just happened to record on that carl zeiss wielding camera of our tube 5800s on a plethora of networking sites we frequent these days.
Connect Nokia Share Online to over 100 services across the Social Web with Pixelpipe. This utility will help you to create and configure Share Online to utilize the Pixelpipe Media Gateway to distribute photos, video, audio and files to popular social networks, micro-blogs, photo/video and blog services. Services include: Flickr, Picasa, YouTube, Facebook, MySpace, hi5, imeem, Vox, Bebo, Hyves, Photobucket, Kodak, vimeo, blip.tv, Twitter, FriendFeed, TwitPic, Blogger, TypePad, WordPress
What we like?
- Synchronisation into share online
- Almost every service that we can think of is supported
What we hate?
- The circuitous setup procedure (is a small compromise considering the host of services it supports)
Verdict
Pixelpipe is gem of an application and we are wondering why it took us such a long time in unearthing this powerful application. The host of services it supports is simply unbeatable and to be honest we are not even aware of some of the services it supports. The app is one complete solution for all your online media sharing needs and think no further, just download this app and set it up and thats it, all your media sharing can now be handled by Share Online.
Pixelpipe for Share online can be downloaded for free from the ovi webstore (remember to login)
P.S- As of now Share online supports upload of images, videos and audio only, thereby limiting some of the other services supported by Pixelpipe.

One quick note that you may not have noticed from our site is that Nokia users can also create their Share Online configurations & setup their services by visiting us at http://m.pixelpipe.com/nokia from their handsets. We provide web setup for users that have phones that don’t support WRT widgets or have access to the Ovi Store.
We also support uploads from Nokia Photos from the desktop, this provides a very fast & convenient method to get your media online. You can find instructions for configuration at http://pixelpipe.com/tools in the Windows section.
Awesome review, thank you!

I wish this service would work as advertised. I tried to install it on my N97 5 separate times, unistalling it each time before retrying. The tool would never complete the set-up and configuration process. The last step would download a .cfg file and then nothing. A black screen each time that never went away.

Lloyd, after dowwnloading the cofig, go to Share and you should have your pixelpipe conduit configured.
What the article doesn’t mention is that you can add pixelpipe to Ovi Contacts (or your favourite mobile IM app) and use other services like status updatinng. It’s awesome.

I’ve gone to Share in the phone multiple times and Pixelpipe is not listed. I’ve restarted the phone multiple times and then gone to Share and PP isn’t listed. I’ve even selected “Update Services” from the options menu and nothing is listed.
