You want to do the same? Here's how:
I put mine here, I guess there may be better places -- up to you, I guess.
You'll obviously need to change the "srcTitle" and "srUrl" to match your own site.
Buzz This!
The icon you'll need.
The results:
Clicking on it brings up a "Note In Reader" window, where you can comment or add tags.
I'd like for it to be a javascript comment, much like the bookmarklet, but Posterous doesn't allow javascript in theming (though I believe they plan on doing so in the future).
This was pretty quick and dirty and since just a basic link, you could really incorporate it on any website easily.
While initially I'm pretty lukewarm to Buzz, there is no doubt that it will be very relevant and widespread with the backing of Google.
I love the fact that Posterous posts to everywhere, especially Facebook where I probably wouldn't post otherwise, but the format when it posts is either unexpected or just unintuitive at times.
Here's an example of where a post that included pictures only becomes part of my Gallery and not as a standalone post:
Becomes this:
I would like to Facebook to have an Autopost option similar to the Custom Footer option of the other account like FriendFeed, but control the whole post:
Overall, this is not a huge issue, and Posterous has been a fantastic service that has made blogging easier than ever!
I've recently started using Posterous - a lot. The ease of use has really drawn me in. Posting by email, whether it's pictures, videos, MP3s or maps (you name it, really), has really opened my eyes for the potential. Not only is it easy, but will "autopost" to some of your favorite services like Twitter.
While in recent times I've used Gmail in the browser almost exclusively, my recent usage of Posterous has give me second thoughts. Using Thunderbird for blogging on Posterous would allow me to do what Gmail in the browswer won't, which is easily dragging and dropping pictures. Sure, you can upload them, but I like the interaction with a client in this fashion - the web can be clunky at times for writing.
As I've started and stopped several times with my blogging endevours before, we'll take a "wait and see" approach to how regularly I actually do it. Now, could I have done this with a Wordpress or even Blogger blog? Probably, but not so easily or painlessly -- and at the end of the day, I think that's the point. I've also been looking for an excuse to try the newest version of Thunderbird, so everything has just come together on this.
