How to do almost anything with Posterous

"Use it to post anything almost anywhere

Beyond its easy blogging features, Posterous’ big selling point is that it can share anything via email to a wide range of services. Setting up the services you want to post to is a simple case of entering appropriate details on the Autopost page. Then, by simply sending a photo (for example) to post@posterous.com, or selecting it from a webpage via the Bookmarklet, it could be sent to Facebook, Flickr, Picasa and FriendFeed simultaneously, as well as to your Posterous blog. Any tags you added to your post would be picked up by services like Flickr too.

With Autopost to Twitter enabled, it’s easy to use Posterous as an alternative to Twitpic. Many desktop Twitter clients, including Tweetie and Seesmic Desktop, support posting images via Posterous with the added benefit of them going wherever else you’re set up to autopost to.

Of course, sometimes you might only want to post something to one service instead of many. An video might be worth tweeting about but you might not want it on your Youtube account. To handle this, the Bookmarklet has the option to exclude services, while you can specify services you wish to post to via email using different email addresses.

To only post to Twitter, you’d use twitter@posterous.com, for example. To send to a number, but not all, of your services you can use the format twitter+youtube+vimeo@posterous.com to just send to those services. If you have a number of similar accounts, but only want to post to one, that’s covered too. If you have three different blogs but only want to post a picture of a swan to the one called ‘Birdwatching’, you could do that by emailing #birdwatching@posterous.com

To send the picture to only the Birdwatching blog and your Flickr account, you’d use flickr+#birdwatching@posterous.com
Use it to work as a group in private

By setting your Posterous blog as Private and allowing colleagues to post to it, you can use it as a private working environment. Co-workers can use it to email in ideas, images, audio and v

Web yields deadly tricks for crime writers - Yahoo! News


  • Web-based forums like www.crimespace.ning.com and the Crime
    Writers Association www.thecwa.co.uk have flourished, bringing
    together writers and fans around the world.



    Authors I spoke with for this column rated among their
    favorites the crime fiction sites "Confessions of an
    Idiosyncratic Mind" at www.sarahweinman.com,
    www.thrillerwriters.org and www.crimespot.net.



    Seasoned or aspiring writers also track blogs run by police
    officers where they can read tales and learn jargon --
    something that was not possible a few years back.



    Child said one of the great benefits of tapping into the
    right police blog site is that writers can learn about tension
    between departments, staff and bosses, personal concerns and
    how they balance the "banal with the extraordinary."
