The Dark Furie

Zu Fighters

Shozu is a quick and easy image and video uploader for mobile phones. It supports multiple sites and is a valuable addition to anyone's phone. I use it to upload my photos for this place, as well as to change my status on different sites.

Everybody was Kung Zu fighting.
Uploading fast as lightning.
Ha! Hoo chaaa!And it was a little bit frightening...

I have become one with the Zu. By focusing the powers of my phone within the art of Shozu, I have advanced to the rank of Ninja and am well on my way to being a Guru. Would you like to learn the secret arts too?

The Levels Of Zu Mastery

  • Apprentice 100-249 points
  • Disciple 250-749 points
  • Prodigy 750-1,499
  • Ninja 1,500-2,499
  • Shaolin Monk 2,500-3,999
  • Urban Warrior 4,000-5,499
  • Samurai 5,500-6,999
  • Sensei 7,000-8,499
  • Master 8,500-9,999
  • Guru 10,000+

How To Earn Points
You get 100 points for signing up, each added destination site, and opting in to receive information from Shozu.
You get 50 points for setting up a back-up site, each uploaded video or image, adding a personal e-mail address to your account, inviting other users (annoyingly I found out about this promotion after sending out a load of invitations), and having a friend you invited start an account.
You get 25 points for each time you update your status on a social network, each added feed, each invited friend who clicks the link in the message you sent, and each invited friend who signs up.
And finally you get 15 points each time you comment on someone else's media online.

Points Make Prizes
There will be weekly prizes (ranging from gadgets to good old fashioned cash) given to the Zu Fighter who earns the most points in that week.

Shozu works on most phones and you can sign up to earn your first belt for free, by following this link.

I use ShoZu as well, but only for uploading pics to my own mail account when I'm on the go.

Since writing this post I've stopped using it. left There's been problems with my main site since it upgraded at the same time as Shozu. I can fix it but can't be bothered yet.

r♡serose-marie Friday, January 9, 2009 11:29:42 AM

Does that mean you're stuck at ninja? left

H82typ Friday, January 9, 2009 11:46:39 AM

Dark FurieFurie Friday, January 9, 2009 12:24:19 PM

Yeah, I'm a Ninja for now. Enough to fight off any attacks that may come from in here.

There's a java version floating round somewhere. up

KYrenKYren Friday, January 9, 2009 7:44:12 PM

I was just joking.Actually I don't want to buy any phone or laptop now.bigsmile
May be I would buy a g2 phone when it's launched in India.Thank you for leting me know about the Shozu.It has s60 version for the 6630.The problem is 6630 doesn't have enough RAM so I can't multitask on it.

H82typ Friday, January 9, 2009 9:10:30 PM

Mad Scientistqlue Friday, January 9, 2009 10:34:38 PM

Teashark doesn't work. irked.
Which makes it very annoying that I need to use it to access my other email account online. They've blocked Operamini. bomb

H82typ Friday, January 9, 2009 10:46:07 PM

bigeyes Really? Have you tried ucweb?

Mad Scientistqlue Friday, January 9, 2009 11:01:42 PM

Haven't even considered it since I couldn't get it up and running properly on my old phone. left

Dark FurieFurie Saturday, January 10, 2009 12:17:45 AM

UCweb works, just not very well. Second worst browser out there. Second only to Teashark. yuck It's always useful to have a backup to try out though.

theoddbod Saturday, January 10, 2009 1:05:19 AM

Any idea how many points a typical winner has?

Dark FurieFurie Saturday, January 10, 2009 1:19:01 AM

The winners when I wrote this had 9,000 points. That was back when it started though. I'm sure some competition has kicked in since then.

H82typ Saturday, January 10, 2009 8:03:51 AM

Agreed @ UCWEB 2nd. worst. Only reason I suggested it is it works on my phone, and no matter how bad the ui is, it's still just another 'net access point.
 The translations are not quite right, graphics are nonexistent, but I can toggle between wap and web.
They have 6.3 java and symbian,english now.

KYrenKYren Saturday, January 10, 2009 8:37:13 AM

bigsmile Mr Stephen Fry just paid my bail.
Sir,why hasn't he put you into jail?Oh yes, pssst you're his boy crush.

H82typ Saturday, January 10, 2009 8:42:59 AM

confused

Mad Scientistqlue Saturday, January 10, 2009 8:52:20 AM

confused.


The big question about UC-Web is, does it still display google results in chinese? scared.

Bad WolfCois Saturday, January 10, 2009 11:18:35 AM

I'm a samurai ninja

H82typ Saturday, January 10, 2009 12:05:30 PM

lol You're a loon-a-tic!lol

H82typ Saturday, January 10, 2009 12:08:41 PM

I think that was straightened out in 6.1 *shrug*
