Posterous in Newsweek
The new kid on the block is Posterous, which made its debut last week and is already making Tumblr seem archaic by bypassing the need to go to a Web site to write a post—or even embed a video. On Posterous, users start an account and publish new posts entirely via e-mail. All you need to do to launch a new blog—and update it—is send an e-mail to post@posterous.com. In its first week 6,000 bloggers registered with Posterous, according to cofounder Sachin Agarwal.
We're excited about the prominent mention in mainstream media and we welcome you to Posterous if you're coming to us for the first time from Newsweek. Don't be confused, though-- we're pretty different from Twitter and other "microblog" platforms. We want to be the place where you share EVERYTHING (photos, music, video, and files of all types), not just 140 characters of text. If you know how to use email, you now know how to post things online. It's a simple concept that we think will make a big difference in a world of confusing web forms. Posterous. It's not a microblog, or a tumblog. It's an everythingblog.
