Posterous now supports video! Simply email us your mov, avi, 3gp, or m4v files (or whatever else you have), and we'll convert them into embedded flash players instantly. Sharing video on the web has never been easier. Try it now: email post@posterous.com a video file off your digital camera. That's all there is to it, no account necessary!
A few years ago I organized a poker tournament with about 100 players and thousands of dollars in the pot. Here's the 8 hour event, sped up to just 1 minute.
We even went back and processed all the videos you've sent us in the past, so check your old posts for the new player.
Also: we added support for many additional audio formats such as wav and m4a. Send those to us to get the Posterous audio player right in your blog.
There are a ton of different video formats out there so if you find one that doesn't play in your post, email us and we'll check it out.

By popular demand, we've added RSS feeds for your subscriptions list. If you don't know what an RSS feed is, read this. So now, when the posterous blogs you subscribe to get updated, you can automatically see new posts in the RSS feed reader of your choice.
We've also added a new way to see more posterous blogs, just by clicking "More recommended blogs".
There are a few more hidden features we'll be refining and talking more about in the next few days. Thanks for using posterous!

If you happen to be in Boston next Monday, we'd love to meet up with you and just hang out. All startups, entrepreneurs, hackers, and Posterous fans are encouraged to attend!
Posterous is co-sponsoring the event with our friends from Anyvite, Slinkset, and Startuply from the summer batch of Y Combinator startups from this year. Y Combinator has been an incredible opportunity for us to meet and work with some of the smartest minds in the industry and to be a part of an incredible ecosystem of talented cofounders that have included Reddit, Loopt, Scribd, Justin.TV, Xobni, Heroku, Dropbox, 280 North, and a ton of other sites and services we love.
For potential entrepreneurs out there, Y Combinator partners Paul Graham and Jessica Livingston will give a short Q&A session about startups and how to improve your YC application if you're looking to apply.
RSVP and check out the details for the event at the anyvite page:

Here's a quick mini-update. We've revamped our rich text editor with a new streamlined version that should make things simpler. If you haven't noticed, we also recently added a way to change the display date of your post if you click "More options" at the bottom of the body field.
As always, if you run into problems or just have feedback for us, send us email at help@posterous.com

We're celebrating our 1 month launch birthday by announcing a big new feature. Posterous now makes posting to even your existing blogs easier.
We're proud to announce support for our first wave of blogging platforms: Blogger, Wordpress, Typepad, Movable Type, Livejournal, tumblr, and Xanga. If you use any of these sites -- well, what are you waiting for? Set up autopost now.
Are you sick of having to log into separate sites and post/upload separately each time? Attach your stuff to one email and you're done.
At Posterous, we're totally driven to create things the right way -- the way we ourselves would want the best blogging platform in the world to work. We host your full images and files, no matter what. We don't nickel and dime you on space. We auto-resize things intelligently. And that means we work with all the rest of your blogs and social media in a way that just plain works.
Since every blog is different, we want to make sure we work with yours. If something doesn't look right, email us at help@posterous.com and we'll work with you to fix things fast.

Want an image gallery out of that folder of images on your desktop? Just turn the folder into a zip and email it to Posterous. If we get a zip file that contains multiple images (and only images), we'll turn the images into a gallery and provide a download link to your original zip file. Easy!
Tip: On a Mac you can turn files or folders into a zip by right clicking on them and selecting "compress"

A podcast is stream of audio or music that people can automatically subscribe to through something like iTunes. Whenever an update happens, all your subscribers download your new audio post and can listen to it on their computers or iPods.
Now you can use Posterous to publish your podcast using email. All you have to do is email us an audio file attachment like an MP3. We'll automatically add your MP3 file to your posterous, and in addition to the flash player in the post, we'll make sure that the file is added to your RSS feed in a way that iTunes and other podcast players can read it.
People can subscribe to your Podcast by going to iTunes, clicking Advanced > Subscribe to Podcast... and then pasting the RSS address of your posterous, which follows the format: http://[yoursite].posterous.com/rss
If you or your friends have iPods, they can subscribe to your podcast feed and always get the audio you post to your Posterous!
Edit: Thanks to Jon Hickman for pointing out that iTunes provides a way to put links directly to subscriptions, using the itpc protocol. Just provide your users a link to this URL: itpc://[yoursite].posterous.com/rss -- it would then operate similarly to if you clicked this link (which will subscribe you to one of our best posterous users, espig-music!)
Also, if you'd like to add this itunes link to your blog more prominently, just cut and paste this code into your profile:
<a href="itpc://yournamehere.posterous.com/rss">Subscribe to this podcast (iTunes)</a>
If you'd like to publish your podcast publicly, you can actually list your podcast in iTunes. See the iTunes FAQ page for more information on how to do this.
