\"Posterous:Starting a blog is quite easy: you simply choose the platform (WordPress<\/a>, Blogger<\/a> or LiveJournal<\/a>, for example), pick a title and start writing. You can blog about any topic you like, or use it as a kind of personal diary to express your inner thoughts and feelings \u2013 always bearing in mind that this is all publicly available, of course.<\/p>\n

But if you feel too lazy to write more than two paragraphs and don’t want all the hassle of having to create a user accounts, use an online editor and fiddle with weird codes every time you want to link to a photo or video you like, try Posterous instead. Posterous is a perfect example of micro-blogging, a variety of blogs we mentioned a while ago<\/a> whose main characteristic is simplicity. Rather than publishing long posts after a long research of several different sources, micro-blogging focuses on quick posts, almost like Twitter messages, only with multimedia support and no character limit.<\/p>\n

Among the dozen different micro-blogging services you can use, Posterous<\/strong><\/a> stands out for its ease to use. First, you don’t need to create a user account. Second, you can publish posts by email. And last but not least, you can user a really handy bookmarklet to share photos, videos, online documents and much more.<\/p>\n

\"Posterous:<\/p>\n

So, all you have to do to start using Posterous is: send your first post by email to post@posterous.com<\/a>. The system will immediately reply to you with a temporary domain name and the link to your newly created posterous. You can then visit the website, protect it with a password, pick a subdomain and configure some settings.<\/p>\n

I liked Posterous for many reasons: it’s one of the easiest micro-blogging services I’ve ever seen (that bookmarklet is simply gorgeous!), it’s great to share stuff with family and friends (by creating a shared posterous with multiple editors) and can also be protected from prying eyes by marking it as private. So if you’ve always wanted all the advantages of having a blog, but without the hard work, don’t think it twice and create your posterous now! Meanwhile, you can always check mine<\/a> out…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
