The Official Posterous Posterous

As a die hard Posterous fan I think you guys owe me a 3GS (note the missing space!), otherwise I can't show off these nice Posterous features ;-)

I don't know how you guys do it, but you keep making Posterous better than ever. Thanks for the great service you provide!

The 3GS video is pretty darn good (see sample - http://tuyennhatvo.com/another-iphone-3gs-sample-video-bart). The fact that Posterous handles to posting of it so well is just icing on the cake.

amazing <3

Sweet, I can't wait to do this when my shiny new iPhone arrives!

Marco, well we gave away Peek Prontos when they came out. Maybe we can get Apple to do a similar promotion. *grin*

Will the videos ever be viewable on the iPhone as well like youtube, or twitvid and yfrog are? I just don't want to use another service for just one feature.

But... you cannot view them on your iphone?????

Jeff, we are getting to that. Please relax a little :)

Good to know you guys are working on it. :)

I love Posterous, but please let us change the profile picture for EACH blog ! Thanks.

This is fantastic news, and I can see lots of people using Posterous to easily get their iPhone videos online.

There's only one fly in the ointment - the iPhone mangles the quality of the video somewhat when emailing it. It would be nice to have an app of some kind that could upload the full quality version of the file. That way you could at least get the low res version uploaded while "on the move", and the wifi the full res version when you get back home or to the office.

Well, clearly, there's more than ever a need for a Posterous app (grabs the iPhone SDK cookbook.. anyone?)

Video from iphone3.0 direct to posterous with good size and rotation: BRAVO

Very nice addition - thanks - it appears one cannot post via 3G only wifi. Yes?

@Daniel I don't have my 3GS yet so I don't know what they are doing on their end for compression, vs the original file... But i'm guessing they don't want to email the large one because it would be too slow.

You can also sync you iphone with your computer, then email the original file.

We'll look into doing full size video uploads in an iphone app :)

@Sachin I think you're absolutely right - it's the right choice for generally sharing video with friends and family, you don't necessarily want to inflict the full resolution video on people. But the option to get full res content onto Posterous would be sweet.
I may try a comparison on my site later on, one emailed from the iPhone, one from my desktop.
Oh, and if you want anyone to beta test a potential app, please let me know. I'd be more than happy to help.

So, where's the G1 love? We have kickass photo and video too! :)

@Brett it should already work! That's the beauty of email. Shoot some video, take some photos with your G1 and email them to us. If it doesn't work perfectly, shoot us an email and we'll take care of it. Thanks!

This is AWESOME!

@sachin awesome!  thanks

love that you guys have done this.

i'm curious though, if we'll have the ability to send a video to posterous via email and have it embed directly on another blog?

I have my posterous set up to post directly to my wordpress blog (mikegoldsworthy.com), but when I send video, it only provides a link...as opposed to pictures, which it actually publishes the picture on my blog as well as posterous.

is there a setting that i'm missing or some way i can set this up?

@mike yes, we will be embedded out video and audio into external blogs soon. thanks

very cool!, thanks for this post, I didn't know that iPhone 3.0 could send multiple photos, but now I do, see the result here: http://wiibart.posterous.com/send-multiple-photosmax5-with-iphone-30

I too would love the option of embedding video into external blogs - particularly blogger.

I like that Voice Memos can be posted, but it's w/ a flash player--no go on iphone. QT player 4 mobile visitors?

@Emil fix is coming very soon ;)

awesome! Looking forward to it. Keep up the fantastic work. Posterous rocks!

After looking around for an audio to Twitter app/site - you guys do have the best way to get media to cross-post to twitter! Also - thanks for adding Vimeo! Getting my 3GS tomorrow, I'm ready to post some video :-)

Is there a maximum length of clip that can be emailed from the iPhone? I tried 2 clips around the 60 second mark and got a message saying they were too long. The longest that it said was ok was around 40 seconds. Just wondering if there's an official restriction from the iphone.

Sam, yes I believe the limit is around 45 seconds. That is a restriction on the iPhone itself, and I hope they remove it in an update!

Thanks about your news and briefly shareing of all features. I didn't know about it.

I believe some of the other posters were asking if it's possible to have the audio player embedded into Blogger instead of just a link, which is what I would like also. In addition, it would be great to be able to make the audio player smaller in one's Posterous blog. Thanks.

Thanks for a great service, I haven't used it yet but with my new iPhone 3Gs a few weeks old and itching to be use to its full capacity, I'm excited about the possibility. Now I hope that Apple will remove the 45sec length restriction on the videos capable of being uploaded. Sometimes you need at least a few minutes to tell a good story :)

Hey Sachin, any ETA on embedding videos on external blogs (especially blogger)?

Images good-- 45 sec iPhone 3GS super restricting for vlogging :-(

@Courtney if you use our iPhone app or a support Twitter application like SimplyTweet, there is no limit on length

@sachin any hope we can get better compression for uploaded videos? Or at least an option to include higher resolution
