Using Posterous As The New Laughing Squid Link Blog

Laughing Squid Link

I’m always coming across great stuff that I just don’t have time to blog about. For a while I’ve been using Google Reader’s shared items as our link blog, but it’s really not my ideal solution. Recently I started using the cool new posting service Posterous as our link blog “Laughing Squid Links” which can now be found at:

lslinks.laughingsquid.com.

The Posterous Bookmarklet makes it super easy to share things on the fly. Everything I add to the link blog is simultaneously posted to our Laughing Squid Links Twitter account (@laughing_squid), Facebook and Friendfeed. I also have it set up so that posts are mirrored on our Tumblr account. Of course Posterous generates and RSS feed which you can subscribe to as well.

Also it turns out that Posterous are our internet neighbors. They are hosted on The Rackspace Cloud which we are starting to use as well.

Special thanks to Posterous co-founder Garry Tan who has been super receptive to my feedback and has even pushed through a few features that I’ve requested. You’re going to be hearing a lot more from these guys, Posterous keeps getting better every day.
