http://jezlyn.posterous.com I really like using it to feed content to my Wordpress blog and other sites at the same time. It's the only easy way I know of to e-mail posts "to" my Wordpress.com blog.

Kol - it's great how one FF post can start a little movement. I've used it more today than since I signed up whenever a long time ago. Thanks.

@phil couldn't you do the embed feature... ? post something to posterous.. and then 'edit' the post and paste the embed? Or maybe simply email it?
- Sean
Phil, click on the 'Share' link of the FF entry, then copy the embed code. Create a new Posterous entry, select HTML mode and paste in the embed code. You'll need to edit the width and height (looks like 500 for width). Then post. :-)

Don't forget to tag your posts like this ((tag: posterous, friendfeed)) in the subject line of your emails. That way your posts will be seen easier by all other Posterous users when they use the global posterous search.
- Svartling
Kol, yes I see.. I added it, I guess Twitter does not have anything but javascript and flash widgets.. It doesnt matter, since I autopost to twitter there is a button there..

How do you all add the little twitter and friendfeed images with links to your profiles here on posterous. I don't know the code to do that. :( Help when u can.

http://mylescrew.posterous.com/ Right now I'm just testing, the import from Blogger was REALLY easy. I'm trying to "port" BlurbBits (http://ff.im/4tlY2) to make them work better on posterous. The iframe style parameter gets removed, which is different than Blogger (there is *always* something).
- Chris Myles
Amani, the little images for twitter etc you get if you autopost to those sites but you might end up with duplicate posts that way. There is a friendfeed badge you can put in your posterous profile at http://friendfeed.com/embed... use the image format, not javascript.

Check out Wayne Suttons Posterous (he posted his URL in this thread). You see that he has changed some colors. That is a private beta feature that is coming soon to the public.
- Svartling
http://lizasperling.posterous.com/ Thanks - you are making this a very helpful Sunday:) AND for those of you trying to embed other images, etc...I did it in my profie and mash in friendfeed, zemanta, gmail, wisestamp,etc..FUN - happy to help.
- Liza
YOU are a great example of engaging followers and using tools to help us connect in many other ways. THANK YOU.

the usual: bigstarlet.posterous.com. I use it as alternative picture posting device to Pixelpipe and also as an alternative to Ping.fm. Thanks for subbing to me there, Kol. :)

@koltregaskes, my posterous is at http://alexschleber.posterous.com "Quick Hits Business Mindhacks". Had been using it quite a bit the first 6 months of this year. I'm a big fan of Garry & Sachin, but really wish posterous would hurry up with some of the much needed feature upgrades (skins and/or CSS, Retweet button - just use Tweetmeme, custom sidebar HTML, WYSIWIG bookmarklet, etc.) Seems like they're stalling a bit right now, no?
- Alex Schleber
They have to be careful not to mess with the simplicity of it, though; that's why so many people like it. If they tart it all up, it might as well just be Tumblr. Which already exists.

@koltregaskes weird that you're "what's your GReader/Posterous/FB?" entries from the last few days seem to presage in a way what happened today..
- Alex Schleber
Keep 'em coming, I'll add you all later today. :-)
- Kol Tregaskes
Thank God for this thread. I'm going to (slowly) subscribe to all the people I'm subbed to on FF. I have a hunch posterous is going to replace part of the puzzle for me. Thanks Kol.

I tried a post asking everyone to share their Google Reader shared items link, but I guess I don't have many followers. Maybe you can?
- Mahendra (SkepticGeek)
My url is http://dave6.posterous.com I just tried out the "((nogallery))" feature that lets you post pictures not in gallery format by putting ((nogallery)) in email subject http://dave6.posterous.com/where-d... only problem is that it takes a while to load pictures if not using really high-speed internet.

I´m not comfortable with the Posterous bookmarklet. It feels a bit limiting. It would be great if it let me select images I want to share AS WELL AS quoting the selected text.
It's a bit more work than with FF but you can right-click the image to get its URL, then add it to what you're sharing with an <img src="___"> tag.
- Andrew Currie
I know, but I shouldn´t have to mess with html in a bookmarklet sharing window.
- Thomas Bøhm
Having used the FF bookmarklet extensively I agree. Maybe someone from Posterous is reading this... Is someone from Posterous reading this?

Steve Pratt, who runs http://radio3.cbc.ca/ said on Saturday at Northern Voice that it's a "turd" of a website. Well, I disagree. Great Canadian music and a great website. Wonderful presentation too.
http://twitter.com/johnpap... says "Steve Pratt runs the absolute best Cdn. music website ever created, so i'd take his word for it. Love CBCR3" (I agree, wow, what a great set of music I've been listening to there tonight).
- Robert Scoble
Thanks for coming to #northernvoice09, Robert - meant a lot to have you there. And thanks also for helping to spread the word about what we're doing at CBC Radio 3. I'll give you a shout when the new version of the site launches this spring.
- Steve Pratt
Radio3 restored my faith in indie music about a year and a half ago, in no small part due to the great site design and functionality. I'm excited to hear it's going to get even better. CBCR3 is awesome!
- Anthony Marco
I have to join in the praise for CBC Radio 3. I've been listening to their outstanding podcasts for three years now. When the Juno Award nominations came out, I was looking over them and compared them to the Grammys and came to the realization that I knew more of the Canadian music than anything else (and I'm in Florida!)
- Charles Fenwick
excellent tool to facilitate sharing. (I started using FFeed bookmarklet extensively recently, but now Posterous can distribute content back into FFeed as well as other sites, notifying Twitter too; an "universal" bookmarklet indeed -- Bravo :-)
- Adriano
Now if only I could just import my Tumblr theme and use Disqus for comments, I'd make the move.
