Imagine, if you will, a strange and wonderful place where the world is made up of postings and status updates that are longer than 140 characters yet shorter than a blog post. Imagine that this place was easy to get to, required no sign up and just worked. Easy. Believing that this exists must mean that I’m slowly turning insane, drunk, dreaming, or very, very high. Or I may have finally given in to the brilliance that is Posterous.
There’s so much cool stuff that happens that you just forget about – the classic one liner that you say and know will never be penned, the priceless photo of your aunt falling off her chair or the genius idea that you had while half asleep last night and can’t remember any more. Twitter isn’t enough to save these items to — plus it’s too volatile; a tweet will be alive for days (if it’s lucky). On the other hand, a blog post just seems a bit too formal (for me at least). Which is why Posterous is rather good. Just send it an email, and it will get added to your ‘site’.
You can see and follow the crap that falls out of my head that’s too long for Twitter and too short for slightlymore at http://iblamefish.posterous.com/; or, if you’re feeling lazy and want a save a few keystrokes, iblamefish.com will take you there too :)
