Posterous, launched earlier this month with perhaps the easiest blogging platform to date. It’s as simple as sending an email to
This e-mail address is being protected from spambots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it
. The subject line is your post title, the text area is your content and you can attach photos, videos and sound files, which will be displayed using a custom Flash player on the site. Hot bananas! 
Since user names are so passé, they’ve made it super easy to use the service with no account sign-up; all you have to do is send your first email and they send a link to your new post with an option to edit or remove. They suggest that you create a password for your account (optional) so you can choose a personalized domain, customize and manage your Posterous account and connect with other subscribers.

For now, the company sails with only two employees at the helm, cofounders Sachin & Garry but I predict a promising future for the two young developers. The launch has been met with stellar reviews by top bloggers Stowe Boyd, who writes, “It is a really easy way to blog, maybe the easiest way I have seen so far,” and TechCrunch’s Michael Arrington who claims, “…Posterous is dead simple to use and does the mobile blogging thing very well.” New features will be launched well into the summer. To stay in tune with the latest and greatest, subscribe to the official Posterous Blog. |

I came across a sweet little digital biz card the other day and thought I would share the magic. With a slight wave of the wrist and a little abracadabra of the fingers, you can pull an interactive business card out of your virtual hat. Retaggre allows users to create a custom profile card fully loaded with widgets to the sites you’re most active with, covering the gamut of social networking sites, including popular blogging & microblogging applications as well as your favorite bookmarking platforms.
