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.


Weeeelll... I was somewhat inspired by readability, so a resemblance is not coincidental.

I have seen posterous, but I was going for something even simpler. The email to post idea is pretty cool though. Thanks a lot for the feedback.


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.
