Posterous is the instant email-to-blog-to-everywhere platform for livestreaming, photo and video sharing , group blogs , and just about anything else you can dream up. And they recently stole the crown from Tumblr in the middle space between blogging and microblogging. Today they’re getting even more useful. As you may have noticed, locations and maps are now a part of your Posterous. That’s because Posterous has integrated with Google Maps to allow for easy embedding of maps, and automatic geo-tagging to displaying location, complete with mini maps, for photos. As with everything Posterous creates, benefiting from the Google Maps integration takes little to no effort on your part. Should you want to share your location as a Google Map on your Posterous, all you need to do is paste in the Google Maps URL and Posterous will do the rest. The final result is a fully functional map embed minus the embed code. Plus, adding geo-data and mini-maps for photos is

automatic (you can adjust privacy options in your settings). All you do is post your photos as usual, and Posterous will grab the geo-coordinates and include the location name with an option to display a mini map view. Should you be fond of posting multiple photos at the same time, no worries, Posterous handles the geo-data for all the photos you post, letting you glimpse each locale on the Google Map embed. Being that it’s summer time, and most of us will be taking a vacay or two, the Google Maps integration with Posterous is pretty cool. Not only can you share your entire trip experience with all of your social networks or just a few via custom Posterous email addresses, but now you can share your location and maps too.
