Or the blogger killer?
So, I was a little late giving it a try but I am glad I got round to checking it out properly last night because I think the set up is just so simple, clean and easy.
They are making use of the one thing we all use and take for granted, that’s email, the.ubiquitous nature of email over a website or blog platform like blogger, wordpress makes it perfect in today’s world with the speed and mobility we seem to be living with, doing it all on the move so to speak, snacking on content.
The fact you don’t even have to set up an account to start is unusual and good, just send an email, while that itself sounds a little odd, it really is that simple, just send an email to postATposterous.com (replace AT with @ of course) and it does all the rest for you!
After that you simply wait for an email and in that will be a link to the blog itself and your option to “claim” it, add a password for security and you are done, and only do that once, from here it’s just send the email.
Email straight to your facebook too, simply by changing the email send address to facebookATposterous.com
Add images, videos etc by using “attachments” in email like you would normally do when emailing a friend.
You simply use the email subject line to write the blog title, attach whatever you want, write the content in the body part of the email, send, wait for the reply, look, share with your readers. 
)
You can even make it private, or allow others to post to your blog, family, friends etc and they only need to email, nothing else, not even having to leave your inbox to reply to the blog with a comment, simply reply by email.
It seems odd because we all use the same email address to send to, it makes sense though when you consider how easy it is then to use it, no remembering odd secret words like with blogger. The only time you need to change the sending email is when you set up another posterous blog, then the address has the blog name in it too, for example postATblogname.posterous.com replacing the “blogname” with your real blog name of course.
I do think posterous is worth trying out, it is the perfect set up those who like and use email but don’t want the hassle of setting up a blog. OAP groups, church groups, charity groups other niche groups and such would benefit greatly from a group posterous set up, all only needing to send an email.
I am even debating whether to forget about switching this blog to wordpress from blogger, use posterous instead, not entirely sold on that yet, although you will see me using posterous because it is so simple and usable. )
