Check out Posterous

You probably know about this already, but if you do, you haven't told me, so I'm just finding out about it. It's Posterous, a wonderfully simple and minimalistic posting platform which you can find at http://www.posterous.com/. Here's a little copy from their "about" page:

Posterous is the dead simple way to put anything online using email. We launched in July 2008 and we've been steadily growing and adding features.
We love sharing thoughts, photos, audio, and files with our friends and family, but we didn't like how hard it was... so we made a better way.
That's posterous. We're super excited to see what happens when blogging becomes as easy as email, and we hope you enjoy posterous as much as we do. Thanks for trying it.


The feature they're promoting here is the ability to email posts to your Posterous site, but you can also just use the online posting function, which is like a blog but a bit simpler in terms of steps. Also, photos look fantastic here! For me the lack of advertising is another plus; as much as I admire targeted online marketing, sometime it makes me just a little bit t-i-r-e-d.

P.S. If you're a reader of Presentation Zen, you might be interested in Garr Reynolds' Posterous site, where he puts a lot of great pictures. You can find it at http://www.garr.posterous.com/
Here's a photo of his of the Oregon coast.
