If you are not blogging, you really should. If you're not using Posterous, you really should. You can manage the entire thing via email and it's dead simple. And drop-dead gorgeous.
In any case, here's a splendid interview with Sachin from Posterous.
Web 2.0 - Tuesday, December 23, 2008
The main stream media analysts keep writing articles, like this one today on Marketwatch, indicating that niche Web 2.0 startups like Posterous make no sense in the new dead economy. And yet here comes Posterous with its catchy name and cool kid founders and ever more simple way to post thoughts on the net.
Given how much work we have put into our Movable Type platform over the years, it does seem like a breath of fresh air to hear that with Posterous we can just email our posts with a photo and Posterous will take care of the rest. The catch is that you really should be a blogging newbie to jump in as you'd probably want to ditch your platform to use it, and then if you have to chose you might just invest your time in Twitter.
San Francisco-based Posterous has just closed an angel round at $725K. PaidContent indicates that Zimbra CEO Satish Dharmaraj and former Netscape CEO Eric Hahn led the round, with additional funds from XG Ventures, Mitch Kapor, AND Guy Kawasaki. Y Combinator was first with a $15K seed round in May.
I was wondering how Posterous got funded in this crazy financial environment. Now I know.

Man, this makes it REALLY easy to post images, audio, video, or text you find on web pages. Also creates "via" links giving credit to sources. It make particularly nice and easy to grab stuff from other posterous blogs.
