Post once to many

I think this is so cool! I can post to most of my blogs and social media just by sending an email to my Posterous account. It seems really quite simple, but it's taken me a while to set up some of the places I want to post to. Some were simpler than others to set up.

Here's a list of places I'm sending this particular post to:

• www.rickboucher.com 
• www.twitter.com/ricky__b
• my Facebook profile
• htttp://rickboucher.blogspot.com
• http://rickboucher.wordpress.com
• www.mysnowpro.com/rickyb
• my Picassa account
• my YouTube account
• http://rickyb.posterous.com/

Couple of concerns I have though, it sounds like Posterous stores pictures, videos, etc. for you and Posterous tends to want to insert a line or two of text at the bottom of posts to show you're using it. Some of the settings seem to allow you to remove that "feature." About the pictures and video storage, I suppose that could be considered a good thing.

Something else I'm wondering about is how it's going to handle photos. I'm using Gmail, and I'm not seeing how I can insert a photo inline rather than attach it. Perhaps it'll be different on my iPhone.

Send Once Post to Many

With the growth of social networking and the many new blogs/networks one can join to talk about skiing and snowsports instructing, I've been trying to find a way to simply enter blog and social network once and have the entry posted to all the different locations. Here's a list of all the places I'd like a single post to show up:

1. Self-Hosted Wordpress blog (www.rickboucher.com)
2. Wordpress blog (rickboucher.wordpress.com)
3. Blogger (rickboucher.blogspot.com)
4. My Facebook personal profile
5. Twitter (@ricky__b)
6. My Snow Pro (mysnowpro.com)
7. Ski Pro Connect (skiproconnect.com)
8. My Monarch Space (Monarch's community space)
9. My personal My Monarch Space (www.mymonarchspace.com)
10. YouTube (www.youtube.com/rickboucher)
11. Ski Sensei (www.skisensei.com)
12. Posterous (rickyb.posterous.com)
13. Flickr
14. Picassa

I numbered them on purpose, and I think there might be others that I'm forgetting. (I'll come back and add them if I remember them later.)

So far I've found one way to post to at least half of the above list. Posterous allows you to post to many locations just by sending email to your Posterous account. It even allows you to send to just one, some, or all depending the email address you use.

There are a couple of reasons I'm cautious about Posterous:

1. It stores images and video on their system
2. for many of the services above Posterous inserts a promotional footer
3. any more?
