We’re not shy about our love for email.   Posting via email remains the dominant method to share content on Posterous, and why shouldn’t it be?  With Posterous, all you need to do is email post@posterous.com from any Internet connected device and you’re done.

Today, we are announcing a partnership with Hotmail that  makes sharing content via email even easier.   For the first time, all Hotmail users can interact directly with a Posterous Site - straight from the inbox.  No need to visit the site to read the latest comments or add one of your own.

Here's how it works:

You post your latest creation and your site visitors can comment just as they would normally.  Nothing new here!

Anyone who chooses to have your posts delivered to their @hotmail.com or @live.com address can now view the latest comments in the email and respond directly from their inbox.  

We believe email IS the new email – it just needs some fresh thinking. Posterous users are posting via email, reading posts via email, sharing/commenting on posts via email and -  if they are on Hotmail -  everything can be done right from their inbox.

Interactive email on all platforms just makes sense. We think the folks at Hotmail got it right and look forward to working with them and other email providers to make email more interactive.
