ShoZu (News - Alert) Inc. has expanded its mobile social media service to Photobucket, Dailymotion, Friendster, Twitter and four additional Web 2.0 and Mobile 2.0 communities, the company announced today.

 

With the new integrations, ShoZu says it now enables mobile users to interact with 36 social networks from a single screen on their handsets.

 

The company provides mobile social media services that connect mobile consumers with their online social networks, personal blogs, photo storage sites and other Web 2.0 properties from the handset.

 

“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 (News - Alert), ShoZu’s chief executive officer.

 

“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,” Bole said. “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 communities enables mobile users to upload images to Photobucket (News - Alert), a photo site in the United States, and to send photos to a handset for sharing on the go; upload videos to Dailymotion, a video sharing website worldwide; upload photos; change their social status on Friendster, a global social network and sign up to the latest friend and personal “tweet” timelines and post replies from Twitter, the hit micro-blogging service.

 

ShoZu supports uploads to photo sharing site Twitpic; photo and video sharing community Cellfish; interactive personal video “dashboard” Seesmic (News - Alert); and online storage site Ipernity.

 

ShoZu also can include friends’ photostreams, status changes and social network invites sent directly to the handset in the background without mobile navigation or download downtime; send photos at blog quality or full resolution; upload video clips up to 10 minutes in length; and exchange two-way commenting and messages between the mobile and Web.

 

The free mobile client is currently pre-installed on newer Motorola and Samsung (News - Alert) phones and downloadable to nearly 340 additional handset models.
