Posterous

Posterous – The place to post everything. Just email us. Dead simple blog by email.

I’d checked out Posterous a while back but forgotten about it for being maybe a bit to simple (I forget exactly why, to be honest) but they seem to be rocking a pretty good service at the moment. You just email them at post@posterous.com and they take care of the rest – setting up a blog, hosting the images/audio/video attachments you send, the works basically.

The key for me is that they also let that data be sucked out again as well, either via RSS or direct via the MetaWebLog API which means they’re a perfect (free) backend service to power post-via-email onto pretty much any site. Incredibly handy if – like me – you look after 50+ Textpattern sites that need to be maintained by a bunch of people that can’t necessarily be inclined to deal with logging into a CMS on a regular basis.
