Shozu Adds New Destinations


ShoZu, a leading provider of mobile social media services that connect mobile consumers with their online social networks announced today that they have added 8 more destinations to their service: Photobucket, Dailymotion, Friendster, Twitter, Twitpic, Cellfish, Seesmic and Ipernity.

With these 8 new integrations, ShoZu now enables mobile users to interact with their choice of 36 social networks from a single screen on their handsets — reducing the time, effort and money required to upload images, update social profiles and check friends’ latest posts from the phone.

Previous ShoZu-supported sites include Facebook; photo/video communities YouTube, Flickr, Google Picasa, Buzznet, Hyves Kodak EasyShare Gallery, Webshots, Windows Live Spaces, Moblog.uk, Dada.net, Pikeo, Netlog Samsung Fun Club, HotSMS and blip.tv; personal blogging sites Google Blogger, LiveJournal, TypePad, Vox, WordPress and MetaWeblog; online storage site Box.net and Qipit; citizen-contributed news desks at CNN, the BBC, ITV and Scoopt; and any email and FTP addresses — all from one ShoZu interface.

If you are not familiar with Shozu but you are an active user of any of these online services, it's certainly worth a look.

ShoZu’s service extends today’s burgeoning social media movement from the Web to the mobile world where users spend the majority of their time. Users can send photos or videos to their favorite community with a click, or mass-publish any photo or video to multiple communities and/or email addresses simultaneously, without opening a mobile browser, creating for multiple messages, and paying multiple data upload fees from their wireless carrier.

The service is very well done and I use it to upload pictures and other stuff to my Facebook account.

“People today often belong to more than one online social media site including social networking sites, personal blogs and media storage and sharing sites. In addition, different social media sites are popular in different parts of the world,” said Mark Bole, ShoZu CEO. “Our goal is to provide mobile access to the broadest possible range of communities from the ShoZu service so that users need only one tool to stay connected on the go. This latest batch of additional sites to our service gives users more choice than ever before. Also, be on the look out for another batch of new destinations added in the upcoming weeks.”

ShoZu’s free mobile client is currently pre-installed on newer Motorola and Samsung phones and downloadable to nearly 340 additional handset models. A complete list of compatible phones can be found here, or to download it to your phone, click here.
