When Posterous released the PicPosterous iPhone app I took notice of their blogging platform. Posterous is your one-stop location for status updates, blog posts, and media sharing to (almost) every social web site on the net.
I made extensive use of PicPosterous during a recent trip and used the AutoPost feature to upload photos to my Facebook account in real-time. It worked very well although I was stumped why only 60 of the 240 images were uploaded.
I asked the question and Posterous support told me they have set that limit "to prevent spamming the Facebook servers too much." Although they may be raising this number to 100 it seems odd they are concerned about image count instead of the speed of those updates hitting the Facebook servers. It's the latter which tends to be problematic when using API calls.
Despite this limitation Posterous is an interesting service, free, and easy to use for keeping everyone – everywhere – updated.
UPDATE: my source suggests they might remove the 60 (or 100) limit altogether if the service isn't abused.
