Chevrolet is using Posterous at the LA Auto Show!

via chevrolet.posterous.com

With tools like theming, post-by-email, group blogging, and autopost, Posterous has become a very powerful platform for posting content on the web. Now big brands are beginning to discover how easy it is to set up a blog to promote themselves in a fresh and dynamic way to their customers and followers.

So we were really excited to discover that Chevrolet, with the help of Weber Shandwick, one of the biggest and most-recognized brands out there, set up a Posterous site to follow the Volt team around the LA Auto show. They've been posting photos from the events, video interviews, and sharing these things with their followers on Twitter and Facebook.

And they did it all on their own. Using nothing more than the standard tools on Posterous, they created a site, customized it using our theming engine, and started posting lots of content.

Posterous gets a mention in 37signals' Signal vs. Noise Blog

37signals has been a huge inspiration for us. They invented Rails and pioneered a new way of thinking about web startups that is shaking up the conventional wisdom around how technology startups operate. They recently linked to us in their blog of cool new things on the Internet, and we wanted to return the favor.

See their blog post here.

Extra 37signals awesomeness, since we're talking about them...

Current TV: Posterous makes its TV debut

Posterous.com just got a mention on Current TV!

Current TV is an Emmy award winning independent media outlet led by former U.S. Vice President Al Gore. They do some pretty interesting stuff with user generated content broadcast on cable and satellite. Very innovative stuff, guys. Thanks for the segment.

Posterous in Newsweek

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.

The Highlights

Posterous' setup process takes minimalism to the extreme - you don't even have to register... Registration is dead simple as well - just enter your email address and a password.

The ease of posting to it is going to make it very attractive to even novice users.

Posterous would also work very well for those who want to send quick updates from their mobile devices. There is, after all, no need to install any apps - simply send an email and be done.

...posterous might just be different and simple enough to set itself apart from the rest.

We couldn't really say it better ourselves. Thanks ReadWrite for the great writeup. We heartily welcome new users who are coming from this article, and encourage you to email us at help@posterous.com if there's anything we can help you with.

Posterous featured on The Big Picture

Barry Ritholtz is one of the foremost thinkers about the economy in the blogosphere with his blog The Big Picture. Today, he posted about his new posterous and how simple/useful it is.

It is absurdly simply to use, and I already see how it is going to impact how I work. I typically gather a few links, stories, photos each day. Most of the time, they get saved for later, as the time sensitive data and news stories get priority. So I end up with links, email, articles at home, in the office, on the laptop.

This makes it easy to gather all of the items I may want to post or save for posterity. 

The whole package is very, very clever.

Barry, thanks for the stamp of approval and for the promo on one of the most insightful blogs on the Internet today.
