If you don’t want to play the audio, here’s what’s in it:

Now that my iPhone has a built-in audio recorder, I thought I’d try posting audio directly from my phone to my blog and FriendFeed.

I’ve set up an account with Posterous which is a free service that posts all kinds of media files to one or more services like Twitter, Facebook, a personal blog and so on.

You can add one or more authorized email addresses from which Posterous will accept posts by email.
I’ve set it up so it should allow me to post a file just by emailing it from my phone to blog@socialized.posterous.com

This should in turn send it to FriendFeed and from there to Twitter and Facebook. If I have everything set up properly, I won’t get too many double posts.

Once I record my audio file with the iPhone, I select “Share” and then “Email Voice Memo.” I choose my Posterous email address, which I’ve already added to my contacts, and I’ve added a title for the post as the subject line of the email.

There are several services like Posterous and Utterli where you can post audio via the phone using the cellular network, but by using the audio recorder and email, you can do it anywhere you can get wifi.
OK, there it goes, let’s see what happens!
