Easy Mobile Blogging with Posterous and Nokia Messaging
Lately, I’ve been using Posterous to post photos and non-Nokia related articles on my personal site. I’m really liking how it works with the Nokia N97 and the Nokia Messaging app. Combined together, they make a great mobile blogging tool.

In short, Posterous lets you write blog posts by simply writing an email to post@posterous.com. You can set it up to autopost your entries to your other existing online presence like Flickr, Facebook, Twitter, and even another blog.
Multiple Photos
My favorite feature is how Posterous handles multiple photos. Just attach several photos in the email, and they will automatically create an embedded photo gallery within the post. When it comes to Twitter, it’s great to automatically share photos you’ve taken, but will your followers like it if you tweeted 10 related photos in a row? Probably not. Posterous auto-tweets one time with a link showing the gallery of the multiple photos. I think this is the best way to share multiple photos on Twitter! Here’s a sample tweet for this post.

Autoposting
Another great feature of Posterous is autoposting to other services like Flickr, Facebook, Twitter, or other blogs. Posterous takes it to another level by enabling you to autopost to only some of those services with each post. You can select which of those services to post by simply changing the email address.

Integration with Nokia Messaging
Since Posterous works via email, I like how it integrates with the Nokia Messaging app. On the gallery, you can select the photos to upload, then click on the Nokia Messaging option. If you don’t want photos on the post, just write an email without any attachments.

Finishing Thoughts
I suggest trying out Posterous if you haven’t yet. You won’t regret it. It definitely makes our Nokia phones even more powerful. This is perfect for mobile blogging as well as instant sharing of photos. I love it on the Nokia N97 because of the Qwerty keypad for quick typing. I can’t wait to try it out on the Nokia N900.

I haven't tried out Posterous yet (I'm usually about 9 months behind all the cool new social media stuff) but after reading this I'm gonna try it out. Looks like the perfect bridge for Twitter, Flickr, and all my photos.
Question – Is there a way to incorporate this with a personal blog that runs on wordpress?
acurrie on 8 October 2009:
Yup. A WordPress or WordPress.com blog can be set up as an autopost destination.
I've only tried it with http://acurrie.wordpress.com/ but a self-hosted install of WordPress should also work…
Mike Macias on 8 October 2009:
Awesome! Thanks Andrew. I might just use this whenever I decide to start my
personal site. I haven't got around to that yet.

Cool post, I myself I'm using it as well, it rocks and not only on the N97 but on the E71 and others like the N86
Mobile Jorge on 8 October 2009:
Yes you can, it can cross post to many other blogs, it rocks Mike
Mark Guim on 8 October 2009:
you can worry about all that stuff later and just start posting at posterous. You always have the option to autopost at a later time.
