When I first started up Poster, it asked me if I wanted to install the plugins for Aperture and iPhoto, and after I said yes, sure enough under Export in Aperture there was a choice for Poster.īefore I tried uploading from Aperture though, I wanted to see what Poster would do all on it’s own first. After I walk through how Poster works I’ll look back and try to assess whether it’s worth it to use Poster vs. In the old days this was a real pain, you had to export your photos to your disk and then upload them using the cruddy uploaders built into the websites, or there were some dodgy and unreliable plugins you could use, but now both iPhoto and Aperture have built in capabilities to upload directly. Poster is designed to make it easier to upload photos to Facebook and Flickr from iPhoto and Aperture. Ok, gloves are off with a comment like That! it’s time to tell you what problem Poster actually solves. Well, hopefully not like some of the ones I’ve heard where you’re foaming at the mouth, but an honest one, at least. Please don’t spare my feelings because the world needs your kind of review. When I heard about Poster I sent a note off to Steve and I told him my one fear would be that I wouldn’t do a balanced review because I know him and have really benefitted from all the help he’s given me over the years. I’m really excited today because Steve has finally gotten around to adding a third application to his suite, called Poster. I put him in my top five list because he’s really responsive to all of my requests, even if I’m asking him for something that’s already in the software and he has to find a polite way of saying, “hey moron…” Before I ever used Feeder, I used his tool Together, a really nice digital notebook application. He wrote Feeder, which is possibly the most important software I use in creation of the podcast. You’ve heard me say about a hundred times that one of my favorite developers is Steve Harris of Reinvented Software. I was kinda proud that with your help, the NosillaCast never missed a beat! Ok, enough holiday cheer, let’s get this show on the road. One thing I noticed during the holidays is that an awful lot of podcasters took a week or more off, either not doing shows at all, or doing reruns, or doing reruns labeled as “best of” shows. Happy New Year! I hope you all had great holiday times, ate too much, drank too much and didn’t kill off any of your relatives, no matter how much they deserved it!
