ShoZu is great! Did I say great? I mean fantastic!
I just realized how often it occurs that I want to post a short message to Jaiku (read: Jaiku, Twitter, Numpa any other microblogging platform that has an open API). This happens on strange times, at strange places and weird occasions. It’s mostly when I’m not near a PC that I get the most inspiration. Here comes the mobile phone to the rescue! Or is it? Currently it’s often too much hassle to open up http:/m.jaiku.com on my mobile browser and post the message. A great opportunity wasted…
Posting short messages should be a 15 second action. Even using the Jaiku Mobile client or the Jaiku Widget is just to much effort in order to post a message (they are ok for reading though).
It would be great if ShoZu could revolutionize this the way they did with posting photo’s to Flickr or video to YouTube. Once you have ShoZu installed on your phone, posting photo’s to Flickr becomes a “no-brainer”. See, point, shoot, upload! It’s as simple as that.
Now image being able to do the same with short text messages. Think, write, post! This could be implemented in the same way you create SMS messages but instead of sending the message to a phonenumber you would send the message to ShoZu. A lot of phone support writing text notes an sending them through SMS, email, Bluetooth, infrared. So an other option would be to write a text note on the phone an select text “send to ShoZu” option.
I wonder how hard it would be for ShoZu to support this with all those available open API’s …
