Youtube is one of the most powerful social media sites online. It is also the 3rd most popular website in the world! While I don’t believe the android application good enough of a tool to really take advantage of the site and what it offers; it still is nice. I love being able to click on links in emails and on sites that lead back to youtube and have those open right up in my application.

If you aren’t already familiar with Ping.fm for microblogging you are really missing the boat. Ping.fm will allow you to update your status on 30 different networks at once including twitter, facebook, myspace, plurk, bebo, plaxo, blogger, etc. Now they have introduced Pingdroid, a ping.fm app for the android/g1 platform.

PixelPipe is the most powerful syndication tool in existence for sharing photos online via social networks. Currently Pixelpipe is linked to over 60 sites including the most popular ones such as Facebook, Twitter, Myspace, Youtube, Ping.fm, etc.
I suggest first setting up your Pixelpipe account and configuring all of your accounts on the online website: www.pixelpipe.com

Then download the Pixelpipe app from the android market and input your user information. Now every time you take a picture or select one from your pictures folder you can select the “Share” option. Scroll down to select the Pixelpipe option.

Now here is where some of the most important things come into play. You will be prompted to enter a title, description/caption, and keywords. If you are going to post this picture to a microblog such as twitter you may want to start your title tag with the words: A picture of…

Use the description area to describe the photo and whats going on. Use the keywords to indicate what key topics are related to the photo.
Here are some screenshots of the program:
