Posterous now supports TrailerAddict embeds and Github Gist code drops.

Now when you paste a URL to traileraddict.com, we'll automatically expand to the video. Trailer Addict one of our favorite places to watch movie trailers, and now you can blog it fast too. Just paste a url to a traileraddict.com trailer movie page and we'll expand it to this:

And we've done the same for github gists, which should make a few software hackers out there very happy. Gist is a product by Github that allows you to paste and collaborate on simple and small code drops. Now you can paste a gist url, e.g. http://gist.github.com/145398, on its own line, and you'll get:

Got more sites you want to auto-expand? Let us know and we'll add it.

I like the Gists addition, but since you asked: what of Pastie? ;-) Actually, don't do it for my sake: I prefer Pygments. If you actually integrated Pygments into Posterous, that would be most definitely awesome!

Very cool! I also vote for Pygments or Pastie. You guys have been on a tear. It's scary.

Gist support is cool, but I found a bug in that if the gist has more than one "file" in it, the auto-expanded version of it on Posterous only shows the first gist.

Thanks Rich. We'll look into supporting multiple file gists.

Honestly don't know why #stackoverflow didn't do the Gist thing. Maybe I'll try and find out on the meta site
