I love posterous and use it daily. Since the introduction of Posterous themes (see our first custom theme) it has become even more powerful as a content distribution tool. On that note – it’s not perfect. If any of these features exist and I’ve not been able to find them – please let me know. Here are some feature requests:
1. Seperate autopost rules per Posterous Site
The killer feature of Posterous – aside from ease of use – is the automated distribution of content to all your networks. Since I’ve been running two posterous sites – one personal and another a digest for our web strategy blog – I have run into an interesting situation with the auto post feature. I want separate autopost settings for each Posterous site. When I post to my personal blog I’d like it to go to Twitter, FriendFeed, Flickr etc. When I post to the Web Strategy Digest I want it cross posted to WordPress, posted to a separate Twitter account, posted to a Facebook Group, and to FriendFeed.
2. Separate sidebars per Posterous Site
Since the addition of Posterous Themes you can now switch out the sidebar content in the advanced settings. But – it’s an advanced settings and thus isn’t the easiest. For example I’d like to easily drop in a form for my email newsletter for our web strategy blog on one posterous site but not have that be on my personal site.
3. Other RSS Integration
You can integrate your Posterous site with FeedBurner, but not FeedBlitz – which we use for RSS distribution. Minor request – not really that important.
4. Retweet Integration
Self explanatory – try TweetMeme integration and have it as an option in the settings to include/exclude.
5. Tagging From Bookmarklet
Another self-explanatory feature – tagging via the bookmarklet!

Now – I must say one of the draws to Posterous is its simplicity and ease of use – and we don’t want to see that core value interrupted by feature creep. These are just things I would like to see as a power user.
What is your favorite feature of Posterous and what features would you like to see added?

If I recall correctly you can tag from the bookmarklet, it works the same way you tag from email. Just add ((tag: tag1, tag2)) to your subject line.
ahh I was wondering if that worked on the bookmarklet too
