Posterous could centralize your social media communication
Posterous is a Y-Combinator funded start-up that’s doing something very simple that could change the way we aggregate our communications in social media. At its most basic you simply send an email to post@posterous.com and you’ve posted to a newly created blog. The subject is the title and the body is the email text. Not that unusual but well-executed.
It gets more interesting. You can attach a file like a photo, a video or an audio file to the email and Posterous formats it and embeds it into the post. Again very nice.
Garry, one of the founders tells me that very soon you’ll be able to:
“Well, we hope to make life easier by making posting everywhere easier. Soon you’ll be able to host everything at posterous, but have it get posted to everything else—Facebook, Flickr, your Wordpress blog, Twitter a la Twitpic / tinyurl, etc.”
This centralization of things is going to multiply the entire scope of social media if it gets adopted.
Mine is here.
