Posterous is an upcoming blogging platform.

“What might be the simplest blogging platform to date… I’m seriously liking posterous.com.”

Michael Arrington, TechCrunch

To create a blog at Posterous, all you need to do is email post[at]posterous[dot]com with a first post. And that’s it. You have your site.

I’ve been using Posterous since November, and here is how I use it (my posterous).

• I send emails to Posterous with a photo  from my iPhone, and Posterous automatically sends those pictures to Twitter (via a tweet with short URL) and to Facebook (uploading the picture to an album).
• I send emails to Posterous with a video link (usually form vimeo or youtube), and Posterous sends the video to Twitter (via a tweet with short URL) and to Facebook (where the video is embedded in my feed.

It is so incredibly easy to share photos and videos with those who I am connected with online.

If you want to share videos or photos online via Twitter or Facebook, then sign up for a Posterous account. It’ll serve you well.

If you would like to learn more about Posterous visit their FAQ page, it’s got the goods.

Yesterday I submitted a guest post to twitip.com, and it was accepted!

This is pretty exciting as twitip.com has over 30, 000 subscribers and the post has already been tweeted 115 times.

The post is titled “Use Posterous to Easily Enhance Your Tweeting“. You should go read it now (if your into Twitter at all, if not, read this instead).

I like blogging.

Over the past few months, I have missed it.

I have missed the reflecting and the active searching for new information to share.

Life has calmed down for me, I now have three months of holidays (though I have quite a bit to do). So I think I may have some time to casually blog.

I make no promises as to daily posting, but I will try to make quality posts when I do. I hope that I can share some helpful thoughts, and I look forward to discussion that will ensue.

Some things I may blog about include

• Continuing the Public vs Private debate (with new thoughts and possibility of creating a resource for pre-service teachers)
• 6 children’s talks I am writing for beach mission (on crazy stories from the Bible)
• General reflections from the Bible
• Thoughts about technology
• Anything else…?

So first thing to blog about… Posterous

I just started an account (here), after seeing Dave Miers use it. It’s pretty cool, and allows you to immediately post to Facebook and Twitter (and other sites).

It’s pretty easy to post, just via email or on the web. I think it’s better than Twitpic or other photo services, and it’s not just for photos.

Well that was fun. I look forward to this casual blogging, and will see where it leads.
