This can be particularly handy if

you are browsing through Twitter on your mobile phone and see a great tweet (linkingto a post) that you would like to share with your fans

you are at work and something pops into your mind that you want to share on yourFacebook page

It is super easy to update your Facebook pagersquos wall via email and keep all your fansupdated and informed

Posterous is the service that allows you to do this

If you are unfamiliar with Posterous it is basically a hosted micro-blogging platform thatallows you to make updates to your own Posterous blog simply by emailing in content

I have covered this previously in my post Posterous Guide to Dead Simple Blogging

Posterous allows you to update your blog by emailing content such as

httpthesocialmediaguidecomau2

links to videos ndash and have the video automatically displayed photos (as attachments) ndash and have the photos automatically displayed music files (as attachments) ndash and have the music automatically embedded links to Google Maps ndash and have the maps automatically embedded

Posterous also has an autoposting feature that allows you to post (via email) to yourother social networks including Facebook Twitter Flickr YouTube PicasaWordPresscom etc

You can post to one several or all of your social networks

One post to Posterous goes everywhere else on the web

For example you can email your pics to your Posterous blog and if you have added yourFlickr account they will appear there as well

The good thing is Posterous now supports posting to Facebook pages
