What is posterous?

Posterous lets you post things online fast using email. You email us at post@posterous.com and we reply instantly with your new posterous blog.

If you can use email, you can have your own website to share thoughts and media with friends, family and the world.

What can I send to posterous?

You can attach any type of file and we’ll post it along with the text of your email.
We’ll do smarter things for photos, MP3’s, documents and video (both links AND files)

What do you do when I attach photos to an email?

If you attach one photo (of any size, even direct from your camera!), we’ll resize it to a web-friendly size and post it. If you attach more than one photo in the same message, we automatically create a good looking image gallery like this one:

What do you do when I attach music to an email?

We’ll drop the music into a web MP3 player so that your readers can listen to it right there in their web browsers.

What do you do when I attach a video file to an email?

We will transcode your video so that you can see the it in a flash player right there in your browser. We’ll host the file too, so you don’t have to do any work at all. Posterous is THE easiest way to post a video online using email.

What happens when I put a URL in my email? Does it get linked?

We turn any URLs into links. But we try to do smarter things when we can.

If you paste a YouTube link, like this video of Kansas playing Carry On Wayward Son:

We automatically turn it into a YouTube embeded player for your new post:

We currently automatically embed players for the following sites: YouTube, Google Video, Hulu, Funny Or Die, Omnisio, MixWit, Justin.TV, Fliggo, Vimeo, motionbox, TED Talks, Viddler, Dailymotion, Blip.tv, Revver, TeacherTube, GodTube, seesmic, and Brightcove.

If you’d like more sites added, let us know.

Autopost to everywhere

Just set up your other accounts here. The next time you post to posterous, we will instantly autopost everywhere else.
Facebook minifeed or status can be updated with your most recent posts. If you attach photos, we’ll automatically organize and post them into your photo albums.

Twitter messages will use the title of your post up to 130 characters, and then append a shortened is.gd url.

Flickr photos will be put automatically in your photostream. If you attach multiple photos, we’ll post them all in the order we receive them.

Blogs will be updated with the full content you send us. We’ll host your images, music and files, so you don’t have to lift a finger.

Private sites

You can set a password on your site so only the readers you want can see it. More information about private sites can be found here.

Group sites

You can add your friends or family’s email addresses to any Posterous site you control, and they can then email stuff in too. It’s useful for families, sports teams, etc. to share photos and video. Once you’ve added those emails, all they have to do to post is send whatever they want to publish to post@sitename.posterous.com. No registration required.

Tagging

Add tags simply in the subject of your email using the syntax ((tag: apple, gadgets)). You can see your tags on the homepage of your site and click on them to see those posts. You can also see what people are saying about any given topic.

Bookmarklet that automatically extracts photos, video, music, and text
Our bookmarklet is smart as heck. Get started and install it now.

Instant audio podcast

Your RSS feed at http://yournamehere.posterous.com/rss doubles as an iTunes-ready podcast feed. Just attach an mp3 to an email and you’re good to go. Link to itpc://yournamehere.posterous.com/rss and let your friends subscribe in iTunes directly.

Custom domain names (yournamehere.com)
Got a domain name already? Want to use it with your posterous? No sweat — just set up the DNS and run with it. More info is here.

Remove your email signature
End your post with ‘#end’ and we’ll ignore any text we find after that.

Email is insecure. Is posterous secure?

Email can easily be spoofed, but Posterous has come up with some ways to figure out if the email we receive comes from you. If we think it might not be you, we ask you to confirm the email before we post it.

No matter what, you always get an email notification of every post we put online for your blog, with an easy link to remove the post if you didn’t do it. And remember, if you’re running into problems with people abusing your account, help is just one email away.

Will posterous ever sell my information?

Heck no. We only share what you tell us to share. We will always keep your email address and personal information private. See our privacy policy.

Is it free?

Yes, Posterous is enthusiastically a free service. Later, we’ll be adding premium features we know you’ll love, but there will always be a useful free version you can use.

How much space do I get?

You get up to 1 GB of space for personal use. If you need more, tell us. Think of us as your Gmail account for online publishing — post everything and don’t worry about space. We’ll be rolling out more space and unlimited premium accounts in the months ahead.

How is posterous different from other blog services?

We focus on THE best email experience, and do a lot more to support large photo galleries and other file downloads. Other sites force you to upload through cumbersome web forms. With posterous, you can attach any files you want. Plus, you don’t have to remember a gibberish secret email address. Just post@posterous.com and that’s it.
Why doesn’t posterous have X feature yet?

We’re working hard to make posterous better every single day. A few things coming soon:

* Customization and theming

Need something that we don’t have yet? Email us at help@posterous.com. We can’t promise we’ll do it right away, but if we hear from you, we may just add your feature sooner!

Can I import my old blog?

We can import your old site from most blogging platforms. Just go to the import page and get started now!
