Hey,

I just got my hands on N900 yesterday and have been missing a feature.

I've got used to sending images directly to a Flickr -like image/video sharing service called Smugmug (http://www.smugmug.com). With Symbian S60 -based devices there was an application called Shozu (http://www.shozu.com) that handled sending images/videos to various services.

Now it seems that Shozu isn't available for Maemo, so I'm asking if someone (who knows this platform) could make an application that would install as a "Sharing account" like Flickr and Ovi that are pre-installed?

Here's how Smugmug transfer works... It sends an email to [username]@email.smugmug.com with user's password as topic and image/video as attachment.
Shouldn't be too hard to make an application like this, but as I can't code one single line for Maemo, it's quite obvious I can't make this kind of application. Here's a link to Smugmug API too, if someone is interested and this helps: http://wiki.smugmug.net/display/SmugMug/API.

Better yet, why not make an application that could share images to a lot more services too, like Photobucket?

Have you tried PixelPipe? There is a video on YouTube too.

Pixelpipe should solve your problem. Go ahead and install it from the Extras Repository

Wow! I have to take a look at Pixelpipe, thanks!

I'll report back as soon as I've tested it.

Let's say I have my own server and want to post photos to it directly; is there anything like PixelPipe that doesn't go through someone else's servers? I know I could hack something together with SCP and server-side scripting + HTML templates, but I was hoping for something a little more automated than that.
