Hey there ShoZu-ers
We're always looking for ways to make ShoZu better and listen to your feedback. Here at ShoZu HQ we've been working to add some great new features for Facebook in our mobile app.
With ShoZu and Facebook you can now:
- Add a wall feed to see what your friends are writing on your wall
- Post comments to the feeds for text and photos too
- Upload videos to your profile
- Post a note to your profile using our text blogging
To get most of these new features you will need to go in to the app and 'check for updates' - you'll need to re-add Facebook as a destination from your computer via www.shozu.com for the Wall feed.
Let us know what you think and keep that feedback coming in, it's what drives us!

ShoZu is now live in the Ovi store for all our Nokia user fans. There is a one-time charge to new users downloading our app from Ovi. This charge will not affect any existing ShoZu users with the Nokia app already on their phone – you can continue to use ShoZu with no charge.
Alongside our mobile app, there are other ways you can use ShoZu to upload photos and videos with no charge via our additional services – Picture Messaging (MMS), mobile and desktop email and our desktop application too. To find out more about these services and our app, click here.
We hope that with all of the services on offer that there is a ShoZu service for everyone.

It’s here at long last, the brand new version of ShoZu in BlackBerry App World. Now you can:
* Upload photos and videos
* Update your status
* Add tags, titles and descriptions before or after you upload
* Download feeds to see what your friends are up to
* Photo blog on the go
If you already have ShoZu on your phone and don’t want to upgrade your version, there’s no charge.
Want to try before you buy? We’ve introduced a free trial exclusive to App World so you can upload up to 5 photos or videos to your favorite destinations, download feeds and update your status too. Once you have reached the upload limit you’ll need to upgrade to the full version to continue sharing your photos and videos but you‘ll still be able to update your status, tweet and download your favorite feeds. We’ll let you know when you’ve reached the end of the trial for uploads.
Don’t forget you can still use ShoZu for free to upload your photos and videos via our other services: Picture Messaging (MMS), mobile and desktop email, and via our desktop application.

Going on holiday this summer but still want to share your photos and update your status instantly? Well now you can with ShoZu and MAXroam.
This new partnership means you can post photos and updates when you're away without any huge roaming charges. With a MAXroam SIM in your phone you can save between 70-80% on the roaming charges with no monthly or daily connection charges and it's free to receive incoming SMS too - pretty handy huh?
If you have an iPhone but haven't already bought the ShoZu app yet download it now to get your gift code worth $4.99 to credit your MAXroam account.
Happy holidays!

PS Don't forget that to use your MAXroam SIM you will need to unlock your iPhone first.
