Why Posterous?

There are a lot of options out there for hosting the media you want to post to Twitter. Quite frankly, the other services out there stink. Posterous is *the best* way to post to Twitter. And here's why:

• Post *all* media types to a single site. Posterous supports images, video, audio, documents, and long text posts.
• Run your Posterous site on your own custom domain or subdomain.
• Your Posterous site is fully customizable. You control the look and experience on your site.
• NO ADS. None. Ever. We will not put ads around your content.
• Update Facebook, Flickr, and other services you use automatically when you post to Posterous. We're not just for Twitter.
• Add Google Analytics to your site. See how many clicks you are getting and who your viewers are.
• Posterous has a full export API. Do you want to take your media elsewhere? Our API lets you export all the original image and videos. We won't lock you in.

I posted from a Twitter client and it created a new site. How do I claim it?

1. Register for a Posterous account here. If you already have a Posterous account, skip this step!
2. Add your Twitter account to your Autopost settings here.
