I'm starting to love Posterous!

Seriously! After using Posterous in the last few days more frequently, I feel that I getting to love it for it's simplicity. Before Posterous, I found myself have no time to update my blog, all the logging in, creating new articles, sizing of images are wearing me out.

One of the greatest feature of Posterous is working directly from the email - exceptionally well with Gmail. With Gmail's offline support, I can write a blog post anytime, anywhere I like even without internet connections. Once there is internet access, Gmail will automatically send the email to Posterous for posting.

In addition, I don’t have to be bothered with editing or customization process like resizing images, upload media files and embed them to my own blog. Posterous handles all emails sent properly. I sent multiple images, they will be displayed as a gallery-like entry. I send an audio files, it will have an embed audio player. For videos sent, they will be displayed in a video player. I sent a YouTube link, it will be trans-coded into an embedded player.

So, it’s like send and forget, no more cumbersome login and forms!
