Well, actually now I guess I have to say I’m POST posterous. But, I was pre-posterous a few minutes ago. No, I’m not just talking drivel. I’m trying to tell you about a cool new tool I just discovered. It’s a free place to blog from your e-mail or from your cell phone.
It’s called Posterous.
Are you a non-blogger, who always wanted to have a blog, but were afraid of dealing with code? This might be the place for you to express your thoughts! There is no coding to it! You simply send an e-mail. Some of the people who use it seem to be utilizing it just like a primary blog. You could, too. I set mine up and made my first post in less than 15 minutes.
Heck, you can set up photo galleries on it, post videos and music, set it to alert Twitter when you post … and it’s all free! Check out their Q & A here.
Why am I setting one up when I already have a blog (or two)? Well, I always think of cool stuff I want to tell you about, but it might not be enough to make a whole post. I file it away in my head and do that Scarlett O’Hara thing: “I’ll think about that tomorrah, for tomorrah is anothah day.” Tomorrow never comes, because I forget about it!
With Posterous, I can simply write a quick e-mail, attach a photo or link if I choose, send it to Posterous and it’s posted! I think I’ll like that much better than having those choppy posts that have a gazillion different topics!
At the very least, you should just check it out. If you get your own site, let me know and I’ll follow you! There is no need to be pre-Posterous any more!





































OOH, I like this! Now that my internet time is limited with my new job, this could be an answer of sorts for me. HMMM…
Thanks for the head’s up!

Oh, yeah! You’ll like it, because it’s just an e-mail (and you use your phone to twitter and such, don’t you?). I’m thinking I will like it better than blogging here, once I get into it.
That was easy, but now just one more thing to think about.

You are going to have to stop listening to my suggestions, then! Quit whining. You know you love having new toys.
Seems cool. Reminds me (at least because it’s so easy and simple to post) of Tumblr. I don’t have one of those or anything, and I don’t know if you can post via e-mail. But the idea of a simple, straightforward, quick-blogging platform seem similar.

I haven’t tried Tumblr, but have admired it. This is clean and simple, and I think I’m going to like it!
Sounds pretty cool. Can it post to a WP blog or is it just another service.

No, it won’t post to WP, but I’m thinking of using it for the pics I want to post that eat up so much space…and for tiny stuff that doesn’t merit a blog post.
Cool!!! I love the mobile blogging idea and I even tried it with Mobile Blogger for a while. I found multiple blogs to hard to maintain, but I know several of you do it successfully.

I’m not looking at it as much as a blog, but as a place to put all the “tidbits.” In fact, I’m liking it so much I’d almost prefer blogging there than here!
