ShoZu social media hub client app is now available for many BlackBerry smartphones on BlackBerry App World.
The new ShoZu app provides two-way
interactivity with a variety of social networking sites.
"Whether you're
uploading photos, blogging or using other social media features to keep
up with your online social life, Shozu brings together all the
information you are sending and receiving from different sites and
allows you to manage it and respond broadly from one application," said Shozu Chairman and CEO Chris Wade.
The new mobile client for BlackBerry smartphones, includes the
ability to receive updates from multiple sites to one integrated spot
directly on the handset, read and reply to comments in real-time,
update status, upload images and video, add tags, titles and
descriptions before or after uploading, and much more. The mobile
client also offers the ability to edit, add, and remove destination
sites to/from a user's account, making it even easier to stay connected.
The ShoZu client is available for free on a trial basis on BlackBerry App World and allows users to upload up to five photos or videos and use social
networking features such as status updates for an indefinite amount of
time. A full version of the client, available for $4.99, offers users
unlimited use of photo and video uploads.
The Shozu is initially available on all BlackBerry Curve, and BlackBerry Pearl series smartphones, as well as the BlackBerry Bold with support for the BlackBerry Tour and BlackBerry Storm smartphones coming soon.
The ShoZu social media hub service will remain free for both
existing and new users through the recent introduction of new ways to
access the ShoZu service, including through picture messaging/(MMS),
mobile e-mail, desktop e-mail and ShoZu Desktop, based on the Adobe Air
platform, that works on both Macs and Windows PCs.
