Is Posterous the Next Big Thing?
Lately I have been seeing this. About blogging being dead, and fast being replaced by lifestreams. If you haven’t yet heard about it, then I think this post will be helpful.
“Posterous is the dead simple way to put anything online using email“. So you mail them anything and everything you find/found interesting or that others will find interesting, and it will appear in your blog. No moving around. Log into your email account and do everything. It gives a new meaning to email accounts.
“Posterous has already made Tumblr look old“. That is what some comments I found on popular websites and blogs say. Posterous is seriously the easiest way to post contents (read as posts and media) online. And they also push the content to other services like YouTube, Facebook and Flickr, based on what you want them to do.
However, you don’t have the option to choose themes like in Tumblr or WordPress. Every Posterous based mini blog has the same minimalist look. Well, think this is an attempt to keep things simple.
Posterous is currently for those who aim at pure blogging. It’s a boon for those who don’t want to spend their time choosing themes, adding plugins, optimising for search engines. It’s a boon for those who don’t want to mess up with the few complexities of blogging and want to post content directly to their blogs.
Do you know the part I liked the most? You are just back from a birthday party and want to upload the pictures to facebook and also to your blog. Just mail all those photos in attachments to the guys at posterous and they will take care of the rest!
Am falling in love with it. Even before using it. Is it just the hype or is it worth? You will soon know.
Current users of Posterous have said the verdict, clear and loud. Posterous is the Web’s Big Thing for now.
Here are some other links which I found useful to know about Posterous.
