Brno's Posterous

Brno's Posterous

Have you ever discovered something cool about Brno but had no opportunity to pass it to other people? Have you taken a nice picture or written a poem about the town and wanted to share it? Brno Now offers you a solution: join other bloggers at brno.posterous.com.

Here is how to contribute:

  1. Share your e-mail address in the comments of this article (or mail it to kasparek@brnonow.com if you want to keep it private).
  2. I’ll add your address to the list of contributors in several hours.
  3. Since a confirmation comes to your mailbox and you click the link in it, anything you send to post@posterous.com will be posted to the blog immediately.
  4. Yes, it’s that simple. The subject of your e-mail will be a title of your post and the body of the e-mail will be a content of the post. You can leave the body empty and just add an attachement — a picture or a video. If you add multiple pictures, Posterous will generate a nice gallery. It’s really cool.

If you change your mind, just ask me and I’ll delete anything you’ve posted.

It’s a funny social media experiment — so don’t think about it too much, just play nice.

I think the place should be billingual. Jestli neumíte anglicky, klidně dávejte fotkám české popisky.

Tip: use your cell phone for taking and sending the pictures, so we all can enjoy a live crowd-sourced broadcasting from Brno.
