Find Out About Shazzle's Features and Functionality*

Shazzle is a freeware application that offers users the opportunity to quickly and easily set up "communities" that boast features such as file sharing, live chat, Shazzle Messaging, social networking, and scrolling announcements. Additionally, Shazzle communities offer Shazzlers exclusive content like Shazzle classifieds, Shazzle art, and Shazzle jobs. Shazzle puts a novel, enhanced spin on all these functions, then pulls them together and places them in one easy-to-access, simple-to-use tool that acts as a universal internet-remote. Shazzle's myriad features will completely transform each and every individual online existence.

*Some of the following features are still in production, and may not be available with the Beta version of Shazzle, but will be offered in later versionings.

Blogs*

Shazzle's personal profiles put you in control of the way you're heard and seen online. The Shazzle “blank canvass” is updatable; this means you can write (and rewrite) your own autobiography. Shazzle lets you craft the precise electronic impression you want to make.

Communities

Shazzle communities offer you a superlative means of optimizing your internet. Shazzle's community function allows you to coordinate and enhance all the things you do online. With Shazzle communities you can orchestrate and participate in a live chat with anyone who's present and interested, use the Shazzle Messenger to carry on one-on-one, private conversations, make posts to the community message board, use the Shazzle Shout Out scroll to make announcements, or take advantage of Shazzle's internet-altering file sharing capabilities.

File Sharing

Shazzle offers users a ground-breaking new way to share files. Shazzle integrates file sharing into it's unique community function, allowing Shazzle users to experience a more targeted variety of downloading than is offered anywhere on the net.

Instant Message

Get linked up to friends instantaneously with Shazzle's unrivaled messaging synchronization. Shazzle lets you access all your IM applications--most notably Shazzle Messenger--from a single list in the lower right-hand corner of your screen. So you can keep tabs on all your “buddies” while you surf the net.

Live Chat

Shazzle offers live chat within communities. While Shazzle also features a traditional message board, this application goes a step beyond conventional web-based communications by offering Shazzle chat. You don't have to wait around, futilely hoping someone responds to your crucial questions or clever comments. Shazzle lets you see who's in a community and what they're saying in real-time. Never again will you be forced to sift through stale posts about yesterday's news; Shazzle plugs you in to the absolute latest developments in your Shazzle community.

Media Player

Use the Shazzle media player to access all that downloaded content you've been swapping with friends, family, and fellow Shazzlers. Listen to your friend's band while you talk to people who saw the latest show, or chat with the members themselves while the file plays. Shazzle's media player won't make you wait to experience the movies and music your communities have put you in touch with.

Message Boards

There's no better way to sound off or get answers to complicated questions than a message board. That's why Shazzle communities come complete with the potential to post. While Shazzle's live chat and instant messaging are great, they're only accessible to Shazzlers who are online. Shazzle message boards let you tap into the Shazzle world's entire user base so that you can engage in the discussions you want to have and ask the questions you need answered.

Music Sharing

Shazzle is a visionary innovation in music sharing that will completely transform the way you exchange music. Shazzle's community function brings you elevated levels of personal, identifiable downloads not offered by the sprawling, disjointed, anonymous peer-to-peer networks currently prevalent online.

Photo Sharing

Swap photos with extraordinary ease and efficiency on Shazzle. The program's unequaled searches allow you to organize, sort, and search for your pictures or peruse travel snap shots of people you know like no other photo sharing tool in the world.

Ratings

Good, bad or indifferent: Shazzle's letting users decide. Rate everything from content to entire communities and let your fellow Shazzlers know what's cool, what's useful, and what's not worth their time.

Remote PC

Shazzle is an easy-to-download internet application; this means you can log on to your Shazzle from anywhere there's an internet connection. Take all the files from all your communities with you wherever you can get a connection. Imagine a USB flash drive with unlimited memory that you can never lose: that's Shazzle.

Shazzle Searches

Shazzle smart folders and Shazzle's customizable resource grid make communities and content easy to find. With Shazzle's layered, easy to use tagging system users are offered unparalleled organizational options. Sort the things you're seeking by multiple criteria at once, and find exactly what you're looking for in an instant.

Shout Outs

Shazzle lets you take control of a slick-looking scroll to make announcements to your whole community. Use Shazzle Shout Outs to keep people up-to-date on scheduled events and personal milestones, or just jump at the chance to flash something funny across a few screens.

Social Networking

Create a personal page with Shazzle. Your personal page gives you complete control of an electronic area devoted entirely to who you are and what you like. Shazzle personal pages aren't just a bland, one-dimensional e-space that limits you to throwing up a couple of pictures and housing a few old posts. Shazzle's social networking offers users access to the same sleek interface and multi-faceted file-sharing and communication advantages that make Shazzle communities so unique: keep in touch or meet new people with Shazzle social networking.

Video Sharing

Shazzle lets you upload, view, and share video clips within communities. Dedicate a community to your personal “video blog” by dropping your latest installment (and your entire archive) into your community folders. Or just use Shazzle's video sharing capacity to let people take a look at a humorous clip or controversial visual. With Shazzle video sharing you can bring your videos to the internet.

Web Browser

Shazzle consolidates and works with everything you're already doing on-line. The top right portion of your Shazzle screen is dedicated to a “viewer” that allows you to access traditional URL web-pages. Shazzle offers you all of its innovations without asking you to give anything up (be it your finances or your e-functions) in return.

*Sorry! These features are still in the development stages as of the Beta release of Shazzle.
