So, I downloaded ShoZu for my cell phone to upload pics to the intarwebs…and I’m not excited about it. I put it on the phone to upload pics to Picasa Web Albums, and I think that works fine…but it’s the crap that it tacks on to the end of the description to put its spam out there for people to get it too. I’m not a fan of forced promotion in my things by someone else’s software. If I want to link you, I’ll link you.
On the other hand, I have a slightly better experience to report with Picasa Web Albums – More space and more albums allowed than flickr. The only down side, is the un-integrated mobile uploading…and that you have to use their software. I’m hoping that they get sub-categories as well in there, because that would clean up my album’s front page, and help keep things organized. I’ve only used it for one day though so far, but I have uploaded nearly 350MB of pictures. I’m using it as a backup storage for my photos on my computer. I’ve already lost the pictures of my friends once when my computer hard drive crashed. That ended an era in my life, and I had to start over. I don’t want that to happen again.
I’ll probably write more when I find something new, or a better way to do something with these two apps.

Hi Neo
Saw your post regarding ShoZu, realise you were frustrated by the shameless plugging, but in ShoZu’s defence it is the only thing we impose on our users for an otherwise free service. Anyway we are always interested in what the blogging community think of our service, have you tried the latest version of ShoZu, if so what do you think.
Thanks
Neil, Client Architect.
PS Take the blue one 😉
Hi Neil,
No I haven’t tried it since that post. Shortly afterward, I migrated to taking pictures with my digital camera, and then bought a Nikon – so I rarely take them on my phone now – it’s more about quality and art for me than about simply taking them these days.
Thanks for your comment,
