Posterous is a Y Combinator startup that was founded in mid 2008. It’s a dead simple web publishing platform via email. Text and files can be uploaded to the site via email.
Users are not required to create an account to use Posterous. To start, users simply email content to post@posterous.com and a “blog” is autocreated and sent back to the user. Registered users can tailor the blog URL, post via the website, subscribe to other users.
Posterous embeds MP3s and other media into a player and turns images into image galleries. PDFs and other office documents are displayed in a Scribd embedded widget.
Posterous quietly launched to close friends in early May. The company officially went into beta in late June 2008.
