ShoZu Adds Photobucket, Dailymotion, Friendster & Twitter
ShoZu Inc. announced that it has expanded its mobile social media
service to Photobucket, Dailymotion, Friendster, Twitter and four
additional Web 2.0 and Mobile 2.0 communities. With these eight 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.
ShoZu’s newly expanded menu of communities enables mobile users to:
- Upload images to Photobucket, the most popular photo site in the U.S., and also have their most recently posted photos sent to the handset for sharing on the go.
- Upload videos to Dailymotion, the second largest video sharing website worldwide with 36.2 million unique visitors (Comscore March 2008)
- Upload photos as well as change their social status on Friendster, a global social network that ranks as the 35th most highly visited website on the planet.
- Sign up to the latest friend and personal “tweet” timelines and post replies from Twitter, the hit micro-blogging service.
