Blogs AND Views
Wish you could simply email anything you wanted to an address and have it post correctly in your own blog? Posterous claims to be the "dead simple way to post everything online using email." They say, "You can attach any kind of file and we'll always do the right thing." Some of the key features include:
- Post a series of photos in one message and it becomes an image gallery
- Post a video file and it becomes embedded into a player and a download link right in your post
- Post an audio file and it gets its own player and a download link
- An RSS feed that can also be used to push your files out via a podcast or subscription feed
- Cross-posting or auto-posting to many other social sites, including Twitter, Facebook, Plurk, Flickr, Vimeo, YouTube, and more.
- Import existing blogs to the Posterous account
Another key feature that Rich likes: You can email your file to a service name, such as Twitter with the posterous address and it will end up on Twitter, as well... or any other of the recognized sites that you set up for posting. So, twitter at yourname.posterous.com will send it to Twitter, as well as post it to the Posterous site. If you want it to go to Twitter AND Facebook, send it to twitter+facebook at yourname.posterous.com. It will send to both.
If you like other's Posterous sites, you can subscribe to them. Then subscribe to your "My Subscriptions" feed and it will go directly to your reader or even email address with the contents of each of your favorite publishers.
There are many other features, visit Posterous.com to find out about the service.
