TwitterPipe

I have just finished putting together the first beta release of a new service I have been working on called TwitterPipe.
TwitterPipe gives you the ability to attach any type of file and add it to a Twitter update so that you can share it with your Twitter friends. It not only allows you to share photos but videos, pdf files, spreadsheets, in fact any document you have on your computer.
As well as the web interface the service has a REST API available. This allows third-party applications to access the service provided by TwitterPipe.
To demo the API I have created an Adobe AIR application that allows you to login and upload files from your desktop, this is also available on the site.

I hold a Photobox account (I don't use it much but have had it a long time and have used it to get prints of some of my photos). I have also used it as I COULD upload photos via email straight to my account.
So I logged into the account today, the site has been "redesigned" completely - and in my opinion to it's detriment. It is now so slow that its almost un-usable and I seem to have lost the ability to email upload.
ShoZu Desktop

ShoZu have now put up the first beta release of ShoZu Desktop, an Adobe AIR based application that I have been working on since AIR was in beta. It should run on any platform that Adobe have an AIR runtime for, currently PC or MAC, and allows you to upload photos and videos to all your favourite ShoZu destinations.
You can either use the ShoZu account that you created for your cellphone and Desktop will pick up the destinations you have already have, or you can create a new ShoZu account and just use ShoZu Desktop to upload your media. The Desktop app will allow upload to any of the destinations that ShoZu supports and you don't have any extra mobile data charges (which is personally why I started the project). It currently supports photo and video upload along with titles, descriptions and tags (depending on the feature set supported by the destination you are uploading to).
The app is the first beta release and you can find out more on the ShoZu Desktop Information Page
It would also be great to get some feedback on the app, so that it can be developed and enhanced from the ideas of the people that use it.
If you do have any comments, constructive one of course :-), you can leave then on the ShoZu User forum.
