Lucy's not quite a contortionist, but she is super flexible. I call this the splat position.
Beautifully crafted wooden bike... I want one.
We're big fans of Google Reader. It's one of the easiest ways to view everyone's stuff fast. Yesterday, Google Reader added a new Send To feature that lets you post to your favorite places right from Google Reader while you're looking at stuff.
By popular demand, now you can use this new Send To feature with Posterous. Go to Settings > Send To in Google Reader and under "Don't see your favorite site?" click Create Custom Link.
Then copy and paste the values below into the custom link fields:
Name URL Icon URL It should look like this:
Click Save and you're done.
Now when browsing Google Reader, you'll see a "Send To" option for Posterous at the bottom of each reader entry like so:
When you click Posterous, you'll be sent to our "Share on Posterous" page that works like our Bookmarklet. We've also revamped the way the bookmarklet handles text posts so if you don't select any text on a page, we'll still try to extract the meatiest part of the content of a page.
Of course, you can always still just click "Email" to post@posterous.com, and that will still work just great too.
Feel free to email us at help@posterous.com if you run into any problems.
Well... so much for building this on my own (http://posterit.heroku.com). I should have known that the Posterous dudes would build this. Little did I know that we were building it in parallel.
Update: Use the official Posterous version instead.
Last night Google added a bunch of new features to Google Reader. One of the features they added was the ability to send items to various social sites like Twitter, Digg, Facebook, etc. One of the "Send To" sites I would have liked to see by default is Posterous. But that didn't happen. So, to scratch my own itch, I created a service to do just that. The service is called "posterit" and is available at http://posterit.heroku.com. Before you can use it with Google Reader, you first need to set it up in Google Reader.
Go to Google Reader > Settings > Send To. Click on the "Create a custom link" button. Enter the following details into the form:Name: Posterous
Hillarious Facebook example screencap. You have to be a total idiot to post something like that on the web... even if it's secured. Lame.
