How to Add Twitter to Posterous
Posterous is a free blogging platform and Web publishing site that you can update by email. It integrates with other social media websites such as Flickr, Twitter and Facebook and distributes your posts to them automatically. You can use Posterous as your main blog or link another blog to it so that when you make a blog post, it updates your Posterous account. Posterous does not support JavaScript, so you will need to use an iframe hosted elsewhere if you want to add your Twitter feed to your Posterous blog.
