A new blogging platform is making rounds in the geek circle which claims to make blogging easier, as if it was difficult earlier. Posterous allows you to setup and post entries in your blog without having to sign up. You can directly send the text of your post with a variety of files by attaching it with your message (.doc, .pdf, .ppt, .jpg, .gif, .png and .mp3) to post@posterous.com from your gmail account or yahoo account or any other mail program.

Posterous will reply in few seconds with a url where your post is located. You can however create or change your username. You certainly have the freedom to post or manage blog without signing in but you can also register on the website if you may desire. You can not change the theme or templates on your Posterous blog while you can only embed the videos of youtube on your blog post as of yet. The company claims that they are working to make other websites supported on Posterous.

I am faily impressed with the idea behind the website which is to make blogging less techie so that more and more users can participate in expressing themselves through blogs.
