Posterous.com Simplifies Blogging: Post Entries via Email
When I describe my career, one of the most common responsesis something to the effect of:
I've thought about starting my own blog, I just don't have time to figure it out.
You may place yourself in that category.It's a reasonable excuse for Baby Boomers and anyone who didn't grow up in the 90's. However, they should be savvy enough to send an email. Thanks to the simple format offered by Posterous, joining the blogosphere is easier than ever before.
Posterous lets users publish blog entries by emailing their material to post@posterous.com.
Once you mail is sent, Posterous handles the rest.A reply is sent to your Inbox with a link to your blog.
As a nice perk, Posterous automatically embeds any attached audio files, video files or Youtube links. 
The email-to-post format distinguishes Posterous from WordPress,Typepad and other hosts, because it's appealing to all bloggers, from novices to experts. For novices, Posterous is an ideal introduction to the blogosphere.
For the gurus, Posterous supplements their social networking profile, and provides access to helpful tools to utilize, such as Autopost, which syncs your posts with your social network blogs; and Bookmarklet, which allows you to select text, video, music or photos from any web page and post it instantly to your Posterous by clicking a special bookmark.
I encourage you to take a leap of faith. Visit Posterous.com and become a blogger today.
