I figured that I would try out the Posterous autopost feature to see if i could send one email to the service and have it update both my blog and Facebook. I’ll include a couple of pics as well to see how all of the services handle it. Everyone made it home and they will probably all have colds in the morning!
Since the last one came out so huge I wanted to try one more that was taken with a different app in the iPhone.
Let’s see how easy it is to send an email to posterous with a picture and have it also post to my blog – all using email from the iPhone.
The first post took maybe 10 seconds before everything was posted. Amazing.
Over on Friendfeed, Scoble had already convinced me to take a look at Posterous, but I already host my own blog using WordPress so I didn’t really see the value. I’ve really neglected my blog lately but I still post things via Twitter, Friendfeed, Facebook, etc. and was thinking it would be handy to be able to post in one place and have it update everywhere that I want it to, including my blog. What makes it even better is that I can easily posting using just plain email if I want – just like I am doing for this post now. I realize that I can use email to post to my blog, or the WordPress app for the iPhone, but this really has a ton of potential to be the single place for posting.
