Posterous, awesomeness / San Francisco, CA / 6 months ago
About a year ago I began talking with Juan about an idea to simplify website publishing. It seemed so obvious that the most comfortable, intuitive and practical means for sharing digital content such as text, images, etc. was email. Everyone has email and knows how to use it, so why not build a site/service that makes use of your email client as a publishing tool... as usual, we were too busy or too lazy or just too distracted to pursue this concept, but luckily someone else wasn't, enter Posterous.
All I can say is that I am glad these guys had similar ideas, because their execution is just plain awesome. It's simple and clean, elegant and expandable, intuitive and collaborative... like I said, awesome.
Anyway, I considered redirecting this domain to my Posterous feed, but I think I will wait until they allow some more customizations to the interface, for now I will be (hopefully) making more regular updates on my Posterous feeds:
