These days, it seems that we spend more time uploading and sharing photos to multiple websites than actually interacting with the people we're sharing with. That is, unless you get on board with an online service called Pixelpipe, which enables you to share content with multiple services.
What You'll Need:
>> Pixelpipe Account
>> Pixelpipe for Mac
Adding Pipes to Your Pixelpipe Account
"Pipes" are the various services available to connect to from within your Pixelpipe account. You can set up new pipes by logging into your Pixelpipe account and clicking "Pipes" in the sidebar.

Select any of the available services to get started with the authentication process. Currently, Pixelpipe can send photos and status updates to more than 30 services, including: Flickr, Facebook, Twitter, Evernote, and Dropbox. Some services may have different authentication processes, but Pixelpipe will give you easy-to-follow instructions during set up.

After setting up some pipes to upload photos to, your pipes will appear in the "My Pipes" section. From this page, you will be able to remove your current pipes.
Uploading Photos from the Pixelpipe Site
You can upload one photo at a time, or update your status on multiple online services directly through the Pixelpipe website. Just click on "Quick Post" in the sidebar.

Choose the file you wish to post, add a title, body, and tags. Then, select your destinations at the bottom of the page (these are the pipes that we just added). When you're finished, click Upload and the photo with title, body, and tags will be posted to the selected services.
Uploading Photos from the Pixelpipe for Mac App
If you want to batch upload multiple photos, then you will need to download and install the Pixelpipe for Mac application from the link above.

When you're ready, drag the photos into the Uploadr app. Clicking on each photo will let you specify Title, Description, Tags, and Privacy settings. To begin the batch upload, click the Upload button. Photos from this app will automatically sent to all pipes in your account that accept photos.
Uploading Photos from iOS
Pixelpipe previously offered an iOS application that worked similar to the Mac version. However, the app was pulled from the App Store by Apple a few months ago. Pixelpipe is said to be working on a new version that will be back to the App Store soon.
