It's been one of the most frequently asked questions around the SPACE side of the web: When the heck is Torchwood: Miracle Day going to air? Well, ask no longer because now we've got an answer for you - SPACE officially announced this morning that Torchwood: Miracle Day is premiering on SPACE Saturday July 9th at 9pm ET! Torchwood is taking a different road this season. It takes place in the States, has funding from the US and several new American characters. It's not all Americanized though, Torchwood vets Captain Jack Harkness and Gwen Cooper return, and they join the new cast of characters as they race against the clock to save the world from itself. via spacecast.com Permalink | Leave a comment »

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 baumann
@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. :-)
- Kol Tregaskes
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.
- Amani
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.

@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.
- Ahsan Ali
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.

surely someone has figured out how to add Friend connect to posteorus...keep searching, and love the cool mashups, but no Friendconnect....
- Liza + = ?
Wish the RSS import into FriendFeed worked a little better. Would make Posterous more useful to me.
- Kol Tregaskes
What's wrong with the RSS feed? that's the whole reason I use Posterous, is because the RSS feed import to FF works so well.
- I like big Botts
I've tried a couple today and the images don't come in and the imported text is messy. Works just fine in Google Buzz so if I could work out while my import is messy in FF then it would be a viable option for posting a few articles to both FF and Buzz in one click.
- Kol Tregaskes
what do you have in posterous that you don't have on tumblr? anyway, friendfeed has problems all the time, unfortunately we're losing it :(
- Flavio
hmm.. Kol, ever try doing it the other way? Have posterous push to friendfeed.
- David Gross
from email
hmm.. I have problems with posterous too.. I forward stuff from email and it messes up the formatting. It just took a 5 picture funny and juggled the pics, how will people get a laugh out of a messed up joke?;( I went to blogger, tumblr and posterous to edit.. I have to do often.

Traffic "Experiments" And A Cure For Waves & Jams ... It's always a good idea to drive without changing speed and without competing with other drivers for bits of headway. I'd always assumed that the reasons were philosophical rather than practical (i.e. try to be a calm, nice person.) But my above experience shows differently. A single solitary driver, if they stop "competing" and instead adopt some unusual driving habits, can actually wipe away some of the frustrating traffic patterns on a highway. That "nice" noncompetitive driver can erase traffic waves. I suspect that the opposite is also true: normal competitive behavior CREATES the traffic waves. ... via http://www.eskimo.com/~billb...

http://www.towaterfrontfest.com/index... This Canada Day weekend June 30 – July 4, the Redpath Toronto Waterfront Festival presents the Great Lakes United TALL SHIPS CHALLENGE® 2010. The third annual festival will take place all along Toronto’s waterfront from Yonge Street to Lower Spadina Avenue and feature activities for families and people of all ages and interests, including ship deck tours, entertainment, the Green Village, a Parade of Sail and much more. One of the feature ships and a highlight of the festival will be the arrival, for the first time in Toronto, of the historic Freedom Schooner AMISTAD.

AMISTAD is also in the news this week as she is scheduled to visit Cuba to commemorate the UN Day of Remembrance for Slavery Victims, before turning and heading north for the journey into the Great Lakes....

On this day, March 6, in the year 1834, the problem started. Perhaps it is uncharitable to view the incorporation of the City of Toronto as "the problem," but there you have it. The record shows – and if history is not your drug, feel free to disagree – that the act proclaiming the creation of this City with a capital "C," born of the town of York, foretold a preoccupation with regulation and order and things specific while all but ignoring the creation of the city as a glorious cause. Glorious cause? Yes. In the pursuit of which this newspaper has chosen this day, this anniversary of the passage of the original City of Toronto Act, to spur readers to rise up. This is your call to arms to lead the political dialogue in the months ahead right to election day, Oct. 25. My City; Your City. The conversation starts now. more at thestar.com Permalink | Leave a comment »
