The Twitchhiker’s travels have come to an end.

So how far did he get? Well, we can tell you that Twitchhiker did indeed make it all the way to New Zealand powered only by Twitter! And he has raised more than £5,000 in sponsorship, well exceeding his original target of £3,000 for charity:water who aim to provide access to clean drinking water in developing nations.

We like to stay in touch with what other bloggers are saying and have been checking out The Nokia Blog where Nokia users can learn tips and tricks. Our friends at The Nokia Blog are ShoZu fans and have created a post on how you can use ShoZu to post to Twitter with an easy step-by-step video guide. In the video they use TwitPic but as you avid ShoZu users will know now you can post direct to Twitter so it’s even easier!

To watch the video click here. To post directly to Twitter the stages are exactly the same except select Twitter as the destination rather than TwitPic and hey presto!

Happy ShoZu-ing

PS You can use your mobile to set up Twitter as a destination or log in to your account here

Exciting news! You can now use ShoZu to send your photos and videos directly to Twitter. Hurrah!

It’s really simple to set up – just add Twitter as a destination from your mobile or by logging into your account here.

Now you can tweet your photos whenever, wherever!

We’re always keen to hear about the sites you use so keep your feedback coming in.

Happy tweeting!

One man, his camera phone and ShoZu on a mission to travel as far as possible in 30 days, with nothing but goodwill from fellow Twitterers. If you haven’t heard about his plan , it’s pretty exciting!

On 1^st March Twitchhiker left the comfort of his home to travel as far as he can, in any direction, all on the goodwill of his fellow Twitterers. His rules are simple:

• No planning more than 3 days in advance
• He can’t ask for help, he can only accept help offered by public tweets
• If he has more than 1 offer he can choose which to accept
• If he is in the same place for more than 48 hours, he has failed his mission

Paul Smith from Newcastle Upon Tyne has decided to put Twitter to the ultimate test in a bid to raise money for charity: water, a charity helping people in developing countries have access to clean water.

The bets are on as to how far he will get, although he has already had interest from as far away as New Zealand and has already made it to Chicago, where next?!

The great news is that Twitchhiker had already raised over £2,500 by his tenth day but he still has a target of £3,000 to reach. To watch Twitchhiker’s progress click here to follow his Flickr photostream and to see what he has been ShoZuing!
