Why I'm using Posterous... What goes up will stay up - Thank you autoposting
There are lots of fantastic applications for blogging. But most of them feel clunky in some way. Be it a web only interface, a clunky iPhone app or a strange limit on what you can include in your blog roll.
When a friend sent me a link to what Posterous was all about, I halfheartedly looked it over. Another service, more authentication cycles... more work. Yes, it is work to setup another account on yet another webservice. But man o man, once everything is hooked up, the service is dead simple. It's got me relly excited about blogging again.But the thing that is the MOST cool to me? Using your email client to write the content. Because then I have a backup of all the content I generate. And with autoposting, if Posterous goes down, you don't disappear. Some of your images might go down for a bit... but your content stays where it is posted to. And, because of how autoposting works, I can think about integrated messaging and consistent voice. My email title will be my Twitter update and Facebook status.Pretty rad stuff. I'm excited to see them allow for customization. Well done Posterous.
