Pixelpipe helps you upload media to multiple locations easily, quickly and simultaneously – Howto

Today when there are so many services available to share photos, videos, music and other files, you will get tired uploading your media to multiple services.  e.g. Flickr free account gives you 100MB per month for sharing photos and you keep a back-up copy in Picasa and at the same time you wanted to blog about some nice fall-color photos.
Ideally to do all that, you will have to spend time uploading photos to Flickr, then Picasa and then open you blog editor to blog about those photos, copy links and then publish the post.  Right…
