Thanks for the sum up.

But I see one big problem. Doesn’t double posting your posts to Posterous and WordPress cause a probem with search results? Google indexes them both and ‘kills’ one of them. Try googling for content you have published and it will only show your Posterous account… I’m not sure if this is what you want, or…?

It’s nothing sophisticated. I have a bit of Javascript that uses the W3C geolocation API to get my long/lat. That then gets reverse geocoded and populates a text box which is ready selected for editing/cutting/pasting.

I’d like to see a more elegant way of doing this but for now this suffices.

What I want to know is, where in this chain of tools are you inserting the location (both a human readable name and a lat/lon pair) into the end of each post?

I’d love to see more people doing this with blog posts (and even emails); if there are existing tools to help, that would be great.
