Have been using this site for awhile, and have nothing but praise. If an issue arises they are on it quickly, and the personal e-mail back is a nice touch. These guys care, about their service and the people that are using it.

@doug – Great to hear the uptake and anxious to see how people use Posterous (it’s not the smoothest sounding name, and hardly lends itself to an action verb as twitter does!).

@Judy – thanks again for pointing the tool to me. I have no idea how long my list is and there is some level of them that are “below the fold” of my attention awareness. Services where I have accounts but no/little action (some of them as aggregators need no attention) include FriendFeed, Pownce, Jaiku, Tumblr, SecondBrain, SuprGlu…. uh, now I cant remember.

@John- brilliant links- as usual you are ahead of the curve!

What a great writeup. Thanks for the coverage — we’re psyched you’re using posterous and we’re trying to get better every single day, whether it’s through being a real person and answering your email fast or launching bug fixes and new features.

Email is awesome — everything else is just software. =)

Alan, Posterous is indeed an excellent tool. The support from the developers is excellent. What is the one tech skill that most teachers possess? Sending an email. Posterous is an ideal entry level tool for teachers that have been traditionally hesitant to have a crack at an online presence. And it does not have to remain entry level. They can set up a gallery and establish a podcast oh so easily. More analysis here. Posterous is brilliant Posterous meets Comic Life Cheers, John

Alan, I really like your write-up. As usual you push the thinking a bit further than I ever have time to do..so that’s cool. Yes, I have got some people hooked on the concept of using this with kids. I’m really interested to see how this develops. Awesome….particularly in this era of social network fatigue. I sure have joined and tried so many things – and even when they are good I just can’t use all the things I have an account for. I shudder to think how long your list must be :-O

I think Posterous is great! My new job title at school (as well as 50% teaching) is 'E-Learning Staff Tutor'. I'm going to be recommending Posterous for staff blogging. In fact, I helped one member of the PE staff set one up yesterday (http://mrrowland.posterous.com)
