Your friends are brilliant. They’re fun and creative. They have a lot to talk about. And many of them say it on Posterous. But until now, it’s been hard to find them. Today, we’re fixing that by introducing Friend Finder, a new feature that makes it easy to enjoy posts from your friends.

Friend Finder allows you to quickly find your Twitter and Facebook friends and always get their posts. You can choose to receive the full content of their posts -- newsletter style -- via email, or if you prefer to read online on our new Reader.

Following your friends on Posterous gives you direct access to what they share publicly - their awesome photo galleries, hilarious rants and quick snapshots.  It’s your fast track to the best content, a way to start conversations, or just give some quick feedback with a 'Like'.

Launch Friend Finder and you’ll start to see some familiar faces and topics. If their account is setup to receive notifications, they’ll even receive an email letting them know you’ve followed them so they can follow you back.

Opening up Posterous to 3rd Party Developers - announcing our new API

Today, Posterous is opening up its technology stack to allow developers and others to build upon the Posterous platform, including the ability to create users and sites on one's own domain.  Everything is self-serve and Oxfam will be the first one to benefit as they are using the new Posterous API to drive awareness and participation in their recently announced campaign to grow a better future

The Oxfam example is a powerful one- showcasing how organizations can easily amplify their campaigns or purpose with Posterous. Anyone visiting the Oxfam GROW site will soon be able to sign up and create a blog that is hosted on the grow.gd domain (e.g. rich.grow.gd ) with the custom GROW theme developed by Obox.  Of course, anyone signing up through Oxfam will have a full Posterous account and access to all features.

Get more details on the Posterous Technology blog or see for yourself on the new API site
