Why use 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:

1. Post all media types to a single Space. Posterous supports images, video, audio, documents, and long text posts.

2. Run your Posterous Space on your own custom domain or subdomain.

3. Your Posterous Space is fully customizable. You control the look and experience on your Space.

4. NO ADS. We do not put ads around your content.

5. Update Facebook, Flickr, and other services you use automatically when you post to Posterous. We’re not just for Twitter.

6. Add Google Analytics to your Space. See how many clicks you are getting and who your viewers are.

7. 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.

If you already have a Posterous account:

Add the Twitter account you’d like to use as an Autopost destination.

If you have a temporary Twitter space, it will merge into your account, and all future posts will go to the right place.
