What is PicPosterous?
PicPosterous is an entirely different way of posting photos and video to your Posterous site. Instead of posting photos from an event once, at the end, PicPosterous is designed to let you post photos live, as you take them.
Let PicPosterous replace the built in Camera app on your iPhone, and publish your photos and video online live.
Do I need a Posterous account?
No. To start playing with PicPosterous, there is no account creation or login. Just start taking photos and video. They'll get collected in your own auto-created Posterous site that is on the web and shareable with anyone.
Here's what it looks like the first time you ever open the app. Try it out right away.
Later, you can log in and import the photos you've taken to your existing account. Or create an account right there if you don't have one yet.
Do I have to wait for uploads before taking more?
No. Most other photo and video iPhone apps stop everything and make you wait before taking more. Unlike the other guys, we automatically upload your previously taken photos and videos in the background so you never have to stop.
You can tell Posterous is uploading something by the spinner at the top and by the red notification that appears on top of the PicPosterous icon.
What happens when I close the app before things finish uploading?
Don't worry about it. We'll pick up where we left off. There will be a little red notification next to our app telling you how many photos or videos need to be uploaded.
Just open PicPosterous again to resume upload. We'll take care of it.
Can I post privately?
Yes, all you have to do is select "Private" when you create your album. You'll need to share the URL to the photo album directly if you want other people to see it.
You can also just set a password on your Posterous site too. Just go to Manage > Edit Site Settings and set a password to protect the whole site.
What about geo-tags? How do I turn off geo-tagging?
Geo-tagging happens automatically. You'll get a little flyout that looks like this below your posts.
To disable this, just go to the Manage » Edit Settings » More options and enable "Don't show locations of posts."
