You can also do this by emailing anything (e.g. text, pictures, YouTube link, gist URL, etc) from any email address to post@posterous.com. Of course, future emails to the same address are tied to the same blog, so if anonymity is your goal (including no association to a previous anonymous post), that option wouldn't work.
Nice clean look & feel though. It looks almost exactly the same as what my Readability bookmarklet turn out.
Posterous does the hard stuff while this eliminates the hard stuff. There's a subtle (and interesting difference).
Posterous makes all sorts of decisions for you giving you a good default, eliminating and deferring choices. Here is no hard stuff to do for you. Simple vs easy.
I think this way has a much lower overhead and I wouldn't be surprised is link-less posts make use of this.
Being able to send an email and get the URL back without having a full blog set up like posterous would be awesome. It really could become an anonymous blog.
