posterous bookmarklet suggestion

This is a little question / suggestion.
When using the posterous bookmarklet i'm always confused of the positions of the link to toggle the advanced settings.

Wouldn't it be better to keep it at the same place in the bottom right corner?Probably rename it to "toggle advanced view" or something.

It feels strange to move the mouse back up there for me.
But maybe that is just me and the way i am using the bookmarklet.
First i select a picture or text excerpt, sometimes i write a little comment, then i go to advanced, set tags and autoposts and then i usually go back and check the first screen, then I hit "Post".I think i never hit "Post" in the advanced view.
What do you think?

Location, Location, Location....

Stories of location-sharing gone wrong will be described as cautionary tales for those who live their lives too openly. Those stories will be followed by general interest pieces on the value of connecting through location, or success stories highlighting businesses able to capitalize on location-based services.

yep... be cautious about what you share, where, when and with whom!

I wish #dropbox would create short links

Think of tiny URLs what you like but they have an advantage when sharing links with eachother.

I wish dropbox would have an integrated short-URL feature in it's iPhone and desktop app so that it makes sharing via twitter etc easier. What i can do now with the iPhone app is send an email with a linked text to someone. Why not show the URL so that i can at least copy/paste it to other apps? And why not use a short URL, so that twitter likes it? Or offer more sharing options than just email?

This would make things easier with the desktop tool as well.
tinygrab and quickshareit already use short-URLs and automatically paste them into the clipboard when uploading something. I just wish dropbox as one of my alltime favorite tools would have this feature.

I think posterous needs a keyboard navigation feature and an iphone/mobile version for better reading experience

hard to read on the iphone without zooming.
I'd love to see a "light" version for the iphone.

and... like i said so many times before i'm so into
google readers and dropulars keyboard navigation (not on the iphone of course but in your browser) :)
would be a great experience for picture galleries AND all subsciption articles
to move through them by hitting the arrow keys.
