I just discovered what surely must be the easiest, most accessible, most flexible publishing platform ever. It’s called Posterous, and it combines the best features of your favorite social media with the ease of email.
It takes about one minute to get your own Posterous page. There is no software to download, no forms to fill out, no bizarre email address to configure, no hoops to jump through. It’s like having a web site with blog and You Tube and Facebook all in one place. Plus, Posterous offers the simplest interface imaginable: Your own email program. You can email your entries from anywhere, and if you can attach a file you can post to Posterous. You can post audio simply by attaching an MP3 to your email. Posterous will embed a player for you. Same with video, and even pictures directly from your camera. If you can send it via email, Posterous can post it. You’ve got to see this. Oh, and it’s free. Posterous can also blast your posts to your existing social media, too, and there are great applications of the Posterous platform for groups and families. You can even create a private page or a single private post. I can’t wait to try it. My page is called Legendary Insights, and as soon as I post something, you’ll know about it. Seriously, click the link below and read about Posterous. It’s screen-reader friendly, too, and it just cannot be any easier.
