Posterous - Anytime, Everywhere

In the space between a long-form blog and a short-form Twitter account, mini-blog services like Posterous and Tumblr seek to make blogging more immediate, support all types of rich media, allow for longer entries if needed, and support short spurts that auto-post to Twitter as well.

Posterous’ knockout punch is email -- the technology that most of us take for granted on a daily basis. What Posterous can do with your emails is simply incredible, and we recommend creating all of your posts by emailing post@posterous.com. The email post creation process is dead simple.

Email whatever you want -- photos, videos, audio -- to post@posterous.com and it will do the rest. Your subject line becomes the title, the email body your post description, and you can even add tags to your post by adding them with the appropriate syntax to the subject line.

Add tags simply in the subject of your email using the syntax ((tag: apple, gadgets)). Tagging doesn't have to be a tedious task you do after creating a post; simply tag your posts as you create them right in the message.

In a twitter mood, email your post to twitter@posterous.com. Only want to update Flickr, send your email to flickr@posterous.com. Want to do just those two, that’s okay too; email flickr+twitter@posterous.com. You have complete control of your content and where it goes.
