I am gradually learning how posterous works and what it is capable of. Apart from the odd occasion where I accidentally posted an entry to all my blogs and twitter accounts, it's been pretty easy to control. I concluded today that I don't really want to post something to ALL of my accounts with all services, I want control over what appears where.
So I removed my Facebook account, flickr account and friendfeed account from posterous, leaving my three blogs and three twitter accounts. That I can handle. I added a posterous rss to friendfeed which means, amongst other things that my Facebook account should be fed my posterous posts.
I was thinking about importing my Indulgency Pattern blog entries to posterous but have concluded this is not what I want to do. I have a posterous widget on the Indulgency Pattern blog, www.rightantler.com and thay works. Sometimes I don't want a posteous entry to be a full blog post, I'm just sharing things I find interesting, or as a good friend puts it, my 'asides'.
What I will try though is important the rss feed from Google Reader of my shared items there. If I can do that I will be happy. I'm afriad I am tired of the cluttered and headache inducing reader experience. I've stopped using it for feeds, at least for now. What is left in there is all my shared items and I'd really like them somewhere a bit more accessible (or so it seems) which is posterous.
The booklet tool on posterous has become my favourite tool of the moment and curiously the feature posterous talks about most, posting by email is something I don't do at all. I will have to figure out how I can do that but ensure the entry only gets posted to the blogs, twitter accounts I want, not all of them!
So that's the experience so far, make sense?
