I'd never heard of Posterous. Check out my first post: http://kate-is-pre.posterous.com/ I sent it originally from email, attaching various file types to see what would happen to them. I was amazed it took and used all of them: .jpg, .pdf, .doc, .txt, .html I have my own server, blog, etc., but this was just so much fun I set up my own posterous URL right away. What a great service -- not only for "even my mom" but for anybody who wants to just share/show something quickly online. Thanks, Clint! I’d never heard of Posterous. Check out my first post:

It will take something pretty special to pry Wordpress from my hands. But for some of my clients, a tool like Posterous removes any technical barriers for entry into the blogging world. If you are looking for an aggregation service that pulls all of your online pieces together, I've found Swurl is pretty cool - http://clintlalonde.net/2008/07/04/using-swurl-to-aggregate-my-life/ Alan: I love the "even my mom can do this" test. The filter I will use to evaluate many tools with in the future no doubt! James: I agree. It will take something pretty special to pry WordPress from my hands.

What I have problems with is the multitude of places posts can and will show up when using web services. I'd rather have one place I used to aggregate what I do with several services, than yet another place to go to see a little piece of my lifestream.
