Shozu Web 2.0 Site Aggregator for iPhone Updated

Untitled-1shozue.gif
An updated edition of Shozu, a free social network aggregator for iPhone and iPod touch, is now available. The upgrade is supposed to further simplify photo uploading, blogging and other mobile interaction with more than 50 Web 2.0 sites, including Facebook, Flickr, Google Blogger, Picasa Web Albums and Twitter , from a single interface. Pictures, for instance, can be transmitted to any number of supported sites simultaneously.

Enhancements include the ability to take and upload high-resolution pictures from within the application, add geo-tags to any photo if desired, make text-only posts to blogging sites, and use ShoZu in five languages. ShoZu has also added new reliability features to ensure smoother photo uploads, easier addition of new Internet destinations, and faster application speed overall.

ShoZu also allows users to change their social network status, have friends’ photostreams and status changes sent to the iPhone, and read and reply to comments posted on their content for a number of the supported social networking sites.

In addition to the iPhone, versions of Shozu are available for about two dozen other mobile handsets. See here to learn more.

You can download the updated iPhone edition from the iTunes App Store here.

Check out a comprehensive list of Shozu improvements after the break.

  •  
  • Text-only posts to blogging sites from Google Blogger to Vox, Wordpress, Typepad and more. Photo blog uploads are still supported.

  •  
  • Geo-tagging for any photo upload, allowing photos to automatically appear on maps in sites like Flickr and Picasa Web Albums. Users can now add geo-tags - even when using non-GPS iPhone/iPod touch devices - simply by tapping ‘Add geo-tag for current location’ on the same ShoZu screen where they add titles, descriptions and tags.

  •  
  • High-resolution (1600x1200) photo capture and upload, for users who want crisper images than the 640x480 resolution provided from the iPhone album. High-res photos can now be taken and uploaded directly from within the ShoZu application.

  •  
  • Faster startup and new ease-of-use features, including an easy way to tell how many photos are still waiting to upload.

  •  
  • Easier retrieval of new content feeds, including friends’ Flickr or Facebook photostreams, Facebook status updates, Facebook event listings, and more.

  •  
  • Automatic time stamps by time zone, including Daylight Savings Time where applicable.

  •  
  • Localized versions in French, German, Italian and Spanish, in addition to the original English-only release.
