Has anyone else tried posterous.com yet? All you have to do is send them an email and your blog is set up and the first post is made. I have created http://martyn.posterous.com, not very imaginative, but I will use it to publish information about my lenses and blogs, hopefully gaining back links along the way. It is also worth logging in and configuring the options available, posterous will automatically post to twitter, blogger and many other sites for you – very neat!
I have not tried it yet, but you can also send photos to update flickr and facebook, or any of your blogs. Best of all, you can use specific email addresses to control the sites you post to, so flickr@posterous.com only goes to flickr, but facebook+flickr@posterous.com goes to facebook and flickr, and post@posterous.com goes to all the sites you have configured.
It really is clever stuff – please give it a try and let me know what you think.

Very cool! I can always use a new blog… for backlinks and who knows what. I’ll think of something. BTW I like your lens on uses for RSS and featured it some time ago on my lens about lens promotion. Anyhow, Posterous sounds creative and intriguing!
A follow-up comment – I did go to Posterous and started a blog: Creative Alchemy.
