As you may have noticed from the last few posts in quick succession I have been trying out Posterous. This is a service that lets you upload to numerous web apps at the same time. So far it seems to work well. All you have to do is set up a simple account with Posterous and then select the other web apps you want to send your stuff to and that is it. It is really simple. However, there are one or two issues - all minor I have found so far.
The first is that the text appears unformatted. This means if you want to maintain a look and feel for something - such as this blog - you can't or at least I have yet to discover how to. The second is posting photos to flickr. I use quite a lot of keywords in my photos and these usually transfer over to flickr. Again, at the moment this doesn't happen. Also you can't post photos to sets by this method - as you can when posting to flickr directly.
However, given these minor problems, which I may well find an answer to over the coming days, the service appears to be really quite efficient. One entry and you are done.
I found out about Posterous from the ever interesting podcast Art of Photography. It is worth checking out.
Finally I am out tomorrow playing with my toy. Hopefully I will have some interesting photos to post over the next day or so.
