Integrating Posterous and Google Buzz

There's definitely been a lot of interest around integrating Posterous and Google Buzz. Right now, they don't have an API that would allow us to make Google Buzz a fully-featured autopost site, but here's a simple way to get posts from your RSS feed into Google Buzz today.

Step 1: Add a link to your Google Profile inside your Posterous bio
To let Google know that your Posterous is associated with your Google profile, just cut / paste the following link into your bio on Posterous, replacing "YOURPROFILE" with your actual profile address, then save it:

 My Google Profile

Step 2: Add a link to your public Google profile page
Visit your Google Profile, then add a link to your Posterous page. Make sure that the page is designated as a profile page:
Media_httpimgskitchco_zcmix
Media_httpimgskitchco_feiej
Step 3 (optional):  Force Google to recrawl your webpage
Use the Social Graph API tool to force Google to recrawl your page. This step is optional; if you choose not to do this, you'll have to wait until Google re-crawls your site.

Step 4: Add Posterous into Google Buzz
After this, your Posterous site will be available to as a "Connected Site" on Google Buzz:
