Posterous launches Facebook Connect for login/signup and blog comments

You can now login to your Posterous using Facebook account, so it's easier than ever to get started or get rolling. If you haven't linked your Facebook to your Posterous account yet, you can do so by clicking Autopost to Everywhere and clicking Add a Service, and then "Enable autopost".

Anyone can now comment on any Posterous blog using Facebook too. We also make it super easy to post blog comments back to your Facebook wall -- just click "Post comment to Facebook" at the bottom of the comment form. (Custom domains don't work yet, but we've got requests out to Facebook to figure out how to support it.)

Posterous and Facebook, better together. Thanks for using posterous, and contact us at help@posterous.com anytime if you have suggestions, problems or ideas.

I think I did this already... just today.

When did this feature actually go live?

A couple of bugs to report: emails to tumblr@posterous aren't working.

Also posts with tags in the subject line aren't getting posted.

Sachin,
This is a good idea, but how safe is the interface? Facebook warns me that my account is open to easy access from Posterous.

Just let me know, because I intend to use this option.

be great to have the facebook connect functionality for people visiting the site to login via this and add comments if they dont have a posterous account this would help me avoid opening up the comments are to everyone and people are more responsible when it's their profile on the line.
