New on Posterous - Autopost to Facebook

Posterous has just launched dead simple posting of photos, video, music, and files of all kinds to Facebook through our Posterous Facebook app.

  1. We'll update your minifeed with a notification. If click "Edit" in Facebook, you can even expand the notification to the full contents of the post. So if you post an mp3 and expand it, you'll get an mp3 player right there in your profile for your friends to listen to, all without ever leaving Facebook.
  2. If you'd like, we can also upload your photos to your Facebook Photo Albums (and automatically create a new album if you post more than 10 photos).
  3. Finally, if you add a Posterous Tab to your profile, you can let your friends view your posterous page directly from your Facebook profile.

All of the usual autopost options apply -- you can still email facebook@posterous.com OR manually post to Facebook through the "Post to elsewhere" button on the sidebar of your post.

So what are you waiting for? Set up autopost to facebook now.

nice, but I quit using facebook half a year ago.. shame ;-)
for the dutch people (but getting more known internationally as well), an auto-post to hyves.net would be very nice.
professionally, linkedin would also be very welcome.
and pownce, of course..

not sure if either of the first two supports any remote posting..

anyway, good job (even though I wont use it ;-))

please guys, what is with styling?
do you guys have a roadmap or so?
I always read "a new feature which a lot of request" but i ddnt requested these features! I requested other things!
Could we get some transparency what comes next? I usually like surprises! But i need to know when i can use posterous as my blog or i should make something different! Because without style-options its useless! Sorry! I like posterous very much! And you guys are awesome, but i have to know! :)

Greetings

Gary,

Whats the difference between doing this, and plugging an RSS feed of your posterous blog into Facebook Notes?

Just trying to figure out what will work best to get my posts on posterous to my friends on facebook, thanks!

Doesn't seem to work at all. Nothing ever shows up on my wall, though I gave posterous permission and on the tab nothing shows up from my entries but the title. No photos or videos or text. :(

@Andrew - we'll investigate this issue and get back to you.

Make sure you connect your facebook account to your posterous account by going to http://posterous.com/autopost

Simply adding the facebook app is not enough

Any chance of getting it to post to a Facebook Page (made with Page Manager)? That would be really convenient!

Guys, a suggestion -
Is it possible to have an option to autopost a blog post to Facebook's status bar, just like the Twitter app does? Essentially, we remove the need for the Twitter app and do this through the Posterous app itself. I ask since my last blog post was not parsed through Twitter to my Facebook status message.

Hey Avi -- This is coming in our next refresh to the Facebook app. It'll be an option on the Posterous Facebook App. Thanks!

Aviraj Saluja said...
Wow, you're mind readers, aren't you?

Hey, another suggestion - how about an option to fave comments?
Feb 04, 2009
How do you make the notification in facebook automatically expanded to full story?
Feb 04, 2009
Garry Tan said...
Leon -- at the moment, you can't, but it certainly is worth an email to facebook to ask for the functionality. =) The API just doesn't allow it right now.
