Well, that was easy. (The details on post.ly)

Okay, I get it now. post.ly is simple and works really well. If you have a Posterous account, and a Twitter account, and you're signed in to the Posterous account, but not necessarily the Twitter account, but it doesn't hurt if you are signed in to the Twitter account you just don't need to be ... I'm complicating it.

Simply: you go to URL post.ly. You enter a short, tweet-style message in the big box. If you do nothing else, this is posted to your Posterous blog and simultaneously to Twitter. On Posterous the big-box text becomes the title of the blog entry, and the entry has no further text.

Going further: if you click on the button below to add text, you get a 'Describe your post' box which does not get posted to Twitter, but does become the blog entry body text. A link to the blog entry is appended to the tweet so people can follow it back to your Posterous blog.

Neat. Well done, Posterous.

Ok, getting somewhere

I think I see how the 'tweet' text becomes the title in a Posterous post. I take it this bit become the body copy ...?
