Posterous Tip: Turn Posterous tags into autoposted Twitter #hashtags

We all know that Posterous is the easiest way to share photos and videos with your friends on Twitter. Now, we've just added a new feature that turns tags on Posterous into #hashtags when you autopost to Twitter or any other microblog.

For instance:

Subject: It really does smell like teen spirit ((tag: grunge, nirvana))

becomes:


To enable this feature, just edit the "Advanced Settings" of your Twitter autopost site by visiting the autopost page and add "{{hash_tags}}" to your custom footer:

Posterous launches super easy Twitter commenting and 2-click Twitter login


Isn't it about time you set up Posterous to autopost to Twitter? Now your readers can leave comments for you and tweet back through Twitter using our new commenting system. It's easier than ever for people to get involved and have a conversation on your blog.

Posterous now also fully supports Twitter's oAuth API for both Posterous users setting up autopost AND your readers who might want to tweet back right from your Posterous blog. For users who are already logged into Twitter, it's a trivial 2 clicks to get connected with Twitter. Click Allow and you're all set.


For users who were using the old way (by giving us your twitter login) -- things will still work just fine and you don't have to lift a finger. But if you'd like, you can delete your old Twitter autopost account at http://posterous.com/autopost and create a new one again. If you happen to change your Twitter password, you'll want to do this too. 

In addition to Twitter, Facebook users can easily comment and share back using Facebook Connect. Twitter/Facebook commenters can also now enter their email address to sign up for comment updates.

As always, email us at help@posterous.com if you're having problems getting things working, and we'll get right back to you ASAP. Thanks for using posterous!

New on Posterous: Autopost to Flickr and Twitter

You know what I hate? Having to upload photos or post things to multiple places. Starting now, you won't have to anymore. Posterous now supports automatically posting updates about your new posts to twitter, AND photo attachments to flickr. Send as many flickr photos as you like in one email attachment, we'll just drop them right into your photostream. Don't worry about mini-fying your posterous URL's anymore, we take care of that for you and just post with the first 130 characters of your subject line.

This is just the first in a series of push-your-stuff-everywhere features that we've got in store for you in the weeks ahead. We think email is at once so simple and so powerful that you should be able to use posterous to post everywhere.

Want to get started? Click "Autopost to Elsewhere" in the right sidebar on your Manage page. Thanks for using posterous.
