    Blogging By Email is Like So Web ?.0

    Dear Posterous,

    You are a strange web site indeed. At first I thought, well, just
    another status/post/friend aggregator, YASN (Yet Another Social
    Network). You *look* kind if tumblr like.

    But interesting, the ways to post make it so darned easy. I have tried
    test messaging from my new iPhone and posting a photo from there- all
    very smooth, and almost effortless. And there are the options I can
    set up to re-post things posterous-ed to other services, so my photo
    went to bloth flickr and twittter. Now we are getting many crossings!

    And now this part, composing an old fashioned, as if it were 1987 (the
    year I first did email), email to create and post to my blog... well
    heck, I am sure my Mom can do this. She reads my blog (hi Mom! Be sure
    to eat all your meals!) but seriously, if she were compelled, she
    could blog by email. That is my ultimate litmus test of a technology
    arriving, when my Mom uses it.

    So bog by email, how strange and neat at the same time.

    Have a nice day,

    Your friend

    Alan

    I think if someone who has never blogged before asked how to get into the whole blogging thing I would suggest Posterous to them for the very reasons you've said in your clever email/post.
