From Posterous with love
Monday, wish me a happy birthday. I'll cross the 30 day barrier on Posterous. As my life changed when I discovered Twitter a couple of monthes ago, my life changed too when I discovered Posterous. Why? Because Posterous offered the ability to blog via email. OK, you're gonna say Blogger, Wordpress and Typepad already give an email adress to send content on your blog but, AMHO, it does not work. I mean: the result is not clean and you already have to edit the content, adjust the size of your video etc. Nothing of that with Posterous. It just works. First revolution.
Another revolution comes from the fact Posterous autopost your content to other platforms: Twitter and Flickr, and, since yesterday, Tumblr, Typepad, Blogger, Wordpress, Movable Type... That's something! It completly changes the streaming of my information on the web. Before Posterous, I used to push content from my phone (with which I snap stuff IRL, where things usually happen) to Flickr (where I store the pictures) to Typepad (where I tell the story going with the picture) to Twitter (where is my main community). Same thing with online content, stored in Diigo and pushed via a badge on my blog. As I manage this network since years, different audiences were created around Flickr, Typepad, Twitter and Diigo and I used to spend a lot of time managing these different communities. Posterous changes everything. With a single email - the easiest tool to use - I'm now able to give to all my readers the same amount of information, wherever they are. And with a smartphone, I even do not need to be in front of a computer to do this job. With a single click on the "Send" button of my email client. Merci, Posterous!
