ShoZu Announces New iPhone Application That Simplifies Photo Uploads; Send Pics to 50 Sites with a Tap of Your Finger

SAN FRANCISCO-- ShoZu Inc. today announced a new application that makes it possible to transfer iPhone and iPod touch photos to any combination of 50 social media sites with a tap of your finger. Available exclusively from the new Apple App Store today, the new iPhone edition of ShoZu’s award-winning application also provides a variety of additional services that make it easy to stay connected with your favorite online communities, blogs and social networks on the go.

“A photo-friendly device like the iPhone needs an easy way to transfer photos to the Web, whether to Flickr, Facebook or beyond. ShoZu does that and more,” said ShoZu CEO Mark Bole. “We have optimized our mobile social media service for the iPhone. There is no faster or easier way to share your favorite iPhone images with your various communities.”

With ShoZu installed, iPhone users can upload any photo captured with the device’s built-in camera or saved to the iPhone photo library to Facebook, Flickr, Photobucket, Kodak EasyShare Gallery, Google Blogger, WordPress and more than 40 other sites without opening a browser or creating multiple messages. Simply select the destinations of your choice from the ShoZu interface, add tags and titles, and tap “send.”

It’s fast, it’s easy, and it eliminates the need to set up and send photos to your various social networks, photo communities and blogs individually. In addition, users can have friends’ photostreams and status changes sent to the iPhone with a tap, and read and reply to comments posted on their destinations of choice – all from the ShoZu screen.

ShoZu for iPhone is a free download from the Apple App Store <http://www.itunes.com/appstore/>. It is available internationally in English, with French, Italian, German and Spanish versions to be released shortly. It is compatible with the original iPhone, iPod touch and the new iPhone 3G.
