Buffy blogged by Shozu

One of the appeals of the Nokia N95 was its ability to be used to send photo’s directly to the web using Nokia Lifeblog. Lifeblog allows you to transmit images to a Typepad blog. The downside of this is that Typepad is a subscription service. As I’ve already got several perfectly good Blogger blogs on the go, this option didn’t really fit the bill.

After a spot of googling for N95 and blogger, I came across ShoZu. ShoZu allows you to send pictures directly to a host of social networking sites including You Tube, Fickr, Facebook, Picassa, Windows Live Spaces and of course, Blogger. Go to the ShoZu website for a full list. No fees, greater flexibility and mobile blogging to go. Fantastic. As an experiment I blogged the above picture of my cat Buffy.

Now if young Dave had a phone with ShoZu installed he could have blogged his sighting of Neil Lennon in a pub tonight realtime. I hope he wasn’t drinking too much, that might explain our recent run of bad form!

If you’ve got a phone with web access check it out.

Buffy in da House

Friday, April 20th, 2007

Here’s my first effort at adding video content to this blog and a step by step, rung by rung (apologies to Huey Lewis), description of what I did to do it.

  • First I videoed Buffy using my phone
  • I then copied the video to my PC and uploaded it to You Tube.
  • I then copied the video’s Embeded HTML to the clipboard
  • I then posted a new post on this , clicked on the Edit HTML tab and pasted in the HTML copied in the previous step.
  • And finally Cyril, I added this text to the post to finish things off.

Give it a try. You too can be a multi-media megastar (or your cat can).
