Roland Allen: Really Random Stuff

I'm glad that Posterous has a web option for posting. E-mail works fine, but this seems a bit more immediate.

I spent time last night looking around Posterous as a blogging platform. Posterous is quickly endearing because it simply makes sense. It is easy to use, it's easy to customize, and it's easy to look at.

Posterous just seems to fit the way blogging has evolved.I call my site: Really Random Stuff because that's the way I blog. I like to post photos. I like to connect other information that I find interesting. I like to write articles - but not as much as I used to when I first started blogging seven years ago. (Think about how long seven years is in web years!)

More important, I like connecting my posts with social networks I use regularly: Twitter and Facebook.

I think that the primary way blogging has changed - or, at least I've changed as a blogger, is that I no longer blog following a theme or subject line. In the past I had a blog for books, another blog for travel, another blog for personal posts. I think that Posterous does a good job at convergence.

Like others, I'm curious about Posterous and might spend some time trying to figure it out.
