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.

Posterous Facebook App revamped! Update your Facebook status, control your photos and invite your friends.

Status updates
We've added the ability to choose between updating your minifeed (which is preferable if you like to expand them to short stories or already have the Twitter app installed) or changing your facebook status (which updates your status with an is.gd short link to your new posterous post.)

Facebook Photo posting options
You can now also control how many photos in a post it takes to create a new album in your Facebook Photos. If you send fewer than that number (we default to 5), we just drop it into the Posterous Photos album, but if you post more than that, you'll get an album with the same name as the post for easy organization.

You can see the new settings on facebook right now by clicking here and selecting "Photo and Blog Autopost Options." If you haven't setup autopost to Facebook yet, this is a great time to start.

Invite your friends
Finally, if you're already autoposting to Facebook, we just added a way for you to invite your Facebook friends to read your posterous and get one of their own. Invite your friends now.

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.
