ShoZu supports more than sites, including the likes of Facebook, Flickr, twitter, YouTube, etc. It also has support for Ovi, so you do not need multiple clients for your Nokia phone.

All is done through a single button. For those who are cautious about the data charges, there is an option to reduce the size of the images before posting them. Another great feature is the “Add CC”, which lets you send your content to multiple sites by uploading only once. ShoZu takes care of the rest.

Using it is pretty simple. Download the application from http://m.shozu.com. After installing, it takes a few minutes for the first time to set up an account.The east touchscreen interface lets you add multiple sites with single click, and you are ready to go.

A word of caution here. There is an auto-upload setting which makes the application run in the background and uploads any updated content without bothering to ask you. While this is great for those who are running on good network plans,it does eat the battery. You can switch off the default option from settings menu.

Can you spot the famous logo in the drawing above ?

At least the men might be knowing .. The event is about a crazy guy named Stavros who is performing Position Art in the

streets of Rome using his cool Nokia N82

Stavros is currently in Rome creating the greatest work of art ever, and I thought you might want to have a look. An exponent of ‘Position Art’ Stavros uses an N82 to send a signal of his route to his website: http://www.theworldismycanvas.com/greatevent/ via GPS as he wanders through the historic streets of the Italian capital creating his latest masterpiece.

He’s also blogging about the process as he goes with images, videos and comments on what he’s encountered appearing live throughout the day.

Head to http://www.theworldismycanvas.com/greatevent/ to see what he is currently up to and witness the birth of a truly great piece of art.

Reliance Mobile Blog is the latest addition to the features of their mobile offerings. The classical song which plays is ” You got the whole world in your hands “. With mobile penetration sky rocketing in India this new feature seems to be mainly targetted at Youth.The AD shows a pretty young girl who encourages users to share your dairy on reliance mobile world. The advert seems impressive and well taken. It seems like the AD is taken in Singapore. I checked out the Official Site  and found that users are uploading mainly images and videos. So this might well be termed as Multimedia Mobile Blogging . But my worry is that since such a service is data intensive, how much time will it take for me to upload an image/video etc. I badly want to get my hands on a reliance phone and try out this service.

Hyderabad based IMImobile seems to be the powering this service for largest CDMA operator in the country.

FoneArena and blogging have some good connection . We got covered by NDTV for mobile blogging
