What’s that you say….the in between blog??

That’s right boys and girls it is a new toy!!

Posterous is not a micro-blog like Twitter or Plurk, it is not a big blog like Blogger, Wordpress, or Typepad it is the in between blog. Comparable to the story of Goldilocks, it is like mama bear’s bed it fits perfectly because it is not too big and not too small. Also like mama bear it cleans up after you too. You send a blurb with attachments and within seconds, let me say that again-within seconds they email you a link to your organized post.

Welcome to Posterous. It’s the easiest way to post anything online using email. Are you tired of working countless hours getting your blog posts just right well now you can email anything to post@posterous.com, attach photos, video, MP3’s, and files they reply instantly (within seconds) with your new posterous at http://yourname.posterous.com.

Launched in July 2008, this fairly new startup looks to be growing rather quickly. They are also adding cool new features as fast as they can think them up.

  • Image Gallery Creation
  • Post to everywhere…including your existing blog, with just an email
  • Subscription to your your Posterous
  • Email Alerts
  • Video encoding
  • Custom Domains
  • Quick Commenting
  • Read my mind, post, email me when it’s done (just kidding but that would be cool)

So that’s it…take a few pictures or record a video, write a few words, and email it over to posterous they will take care of the rest. The posts are clean, simple, and well structured just what you are looking for in a post that is larger than 140 characters but smaller than 300+ words. For those perfectionists out there you can go back in and edit if you feel the need to.

After you finish reading this, just fire an email to post@posterous.com to make your first post. Let me know what your link is I’d love to see your posterous….

  • very, very cool. i'll have to give it a try. i'm always looking for blogging tips to make things a little easier...
  • How do you find these wonderful things. I have bookmarked it and am going to take a look here shortly! Thanks again!
  • Sounds cool. I have a stupid question....Do you then take the post Posterous creates and put it up on your blog or does it stay on their site?
  • Sounds cool but I like writing my own posts. (for the time being anyway) And John B's got a valid question there.

    Sarah- me too it is fun to play with and may be more for a busy professional who wants to blog but doesn't have the time or as an added off topic blog. You know those times when you wish you had a second blog but you could never possibly keep it up...

    Heidi- I have no life, that is how I find this stuff....no really things just pop up and I am easily excitable.

    John- It stays on their site, or rather your site on Posterous... John@Postersous.com they have also added an extra feature where they will post it on your primary blog as well. I haven't explored that feature yet, but they do have it.

    Preston- You still have to write your post, they just format it for you, add your graphics in, they will even create a slide show if you have multiple pictures. But they don't write it....sometimes that would be nice.
  • Thank you for this great information about a new way to blog. I am going to try it out.
