HELP: iPhone to Posterous Easily?
Alright. So the site is coming along nicely. And getting text, pictures, audio and video to it from the laptop is a breeze. So now the big challenge is how to do the same thing from iPhone to website.

Jeremiah Owyang expects more brands to aggregate conversations from the social web on their corporate websites. But is aggregation in and of itself even helpful?
In today's episode of The Daily Boo, I argue that brands will also need a community manager to curate the aggregated content and provide context for website visitors.

| A lot of legislation is coming down the way and it ain't going to be pretty. If you see something wrong you have to speak out. We have the right to do that it is called free speech. And it is not beyond these people to off a few high profile celebrities to distract the people away from their wrong-doing. |
I promised you when the site lanched that we would use it as a place to experiment with new formats and concepts in co-created content. Here's one. Maybe it will fail miserably, we'll see.
If you click on the box below, powered by Google Voice, you can leave me a voicemail message. I will curate the best of these and post them to the site in a follow-up as MP3s. I am open on topics, but specifically would like to hear your thoughts on where you see social media going in the next year.
I got the idea from Arik Hesseldahl at BusinessWeek. Note that phone numbers won't be shared (you can keep it private if you want) and not all comments will make it on to the site - only the more interesting or, dare I say, entertaining ones. Also, please keep these brief if you can. Ideally, 60 seconds or less in length is best. Finally, note that by leaving a message you are giving me permission to pubish it here.
My attempt to attach multiple photos to both video and sound failed using my Apple email accounts, but multiple photos succeeded using a different email account. I'd hate to think Apple was limiting this on purpose, do let's try this from a different email account.

The iPhone's new ability to copy and paste photos makes mobile blogging via email a much richer experience. We're no longer tied to a single attachment file.
And I'm falling in love with Posterous as an alternative to Utterli.

(edit: as you can see this failed. I believe it is because the email was sent from a .mac account. See follow up posts for successful transmissions)

Leo Laporte was comparing audio posting services and explained that he really liked the iTunes feed that using AudioBoo.fm provides for his audience to follow his audio content as it is posted just like a podcast. It looks like you can do the same thing with Posterous! I continue to become a bigger and bigger fan of this service.
Update:
In order to understand the complete process I am adding information provided by Apple on how and where to submit your podcast feed so that others might subscribe to your audio content.

When you have created your RSS feed and posted it to a server with a publicly addressable URL (i.e., not behind a firewall), you should test your feed to see if it works with iTunes:
iTunes displays your Podcast playlist, which shows all of the podcasts to which you have subscribed. Next to the new podcast subscription, you should see an orange circle, which indicates that iTunes is downloading your most recent episode. When the orange circle disappears, you should be able to see your podcast title, a list of all the episodes referenced in your feed, and a check next to the most recent episode, indicating that it has been successfully downloaded. Double-click on the episode to play it in iTunes. If you can successfully play the episode, then your feed is working and you can submit your podcast to iTunes.
If the orange circle is replaced by an "i" in a black circle, iTunes encountered a problem with your feed or episode. You should troubleshoot your episode and feed before submitting it. Please do not submit your feed until you can successfully subscribe using the Advanced menu.
If you can successfully subscribe to your feed using the Advanced menu in iTunes, you’re ready to submit your feed:
Note that you will need a valid iTunes account, and you will need to be logged into iTunes. If you are not logged in, iTunes will prompt you to do so before accepting your submission. By requiring you to log in, iTunes increases the likelihood of valid contact information for each submission. Your credit card will not be charged for submission of a podcast.
If you have created an RSS feed with all of the recommended iTunes tags, you will see a summary page immediately after you submit your feed URL. If you have not included <language>, <itunes:category>, and<itunes:explicit> tags in your feed, you will see a second screen prompting you for this information. Please note that you can change this information at a later date by including the tags in your feed. Your RSS feed is considered the current and authoritative source for information about your podcast.
