Photoblogging from camera phone using Shozu
During the last Geek dinner, Rakesh Agarwal (CEO of Snapstream media) showed me the application Shozu which lets you do photoblogging and makes sending to Flickr very easy. He was clicking people and uploading the photos to his Flickr account instantaneously. That was cool – saves so much of effort in downloading the photos to the computer and then uploading it to Flickr / Buzznet!
Shozu’s homepage claims that they have 2 new great features: Recent comment activity viewed from your phone and backup of phone contacts. Didn’t we all read months back that there was another service which was letting you do the phone contacts backup thing only? Ah – I didn’t think it was important to bookmark it then if you build a service just around that. But if it’s just a feature, it’s worth checking out. I would have done that only if I had a more capable phone. But it’s a matter of time when I upgrade my phone!
Scoble has an article on the same here.
Yeah ShoZu is pretty cool. The trouble is, most cell phone cameras are pretty crappy and there’s no way to make something this work with your actual digital camera unless you have those top of the line digicams that support wifi.
Haha so Scoble just learnt about this now?!! Cool to know that we were ahead of Scoble in something, if only by three days
There is another service that provides social photos and videos off mobile
devices. It has cool features that include instant uploads, phone to phone video
and photo sharing.
