Man, I love Posterous!

Seriously, I don't think I've been so attached to any other product/tool/service/company like I have to Posterous. I'm not here to explain their features or sell their platform (well, not officially at least :), I just think it's the coolest company I've seen on the Internet in years. It feels a bit odd calling them a company since I know of only the 2 co-founders working on it. Yes, I'm a little emotionally attached because I found Posterous at the time that I was looking to find an outlet to express myself, but my blog has now evolved into a lot more - and that's all thanks to Posterous. I'm by no means their most prolific user but Posterous makes me want to blog more. I've got 3 Posterous blogs already and I know that I'm gonna get me some more to talk about other topics (that's when they allow me to have more than 3). I don't often pay for premium services on any website, but I would be more than happy to put my money into their premium services whenever they launch.

The pace at which Posterous has introduced new features since their launch a year back - and the absolute uniqueness and usability of those is seriously impressive. Their latest addition, which allows you to import any or all posts from your existing blogs on any other platform, makes it much easier for people to switch to Posterous. This, along with custom themes which is certainly their next big update, will make the decision to use Posterous as your primary blogging platform a no-brainer.

But more than any of their features, Posterous' trump card is it's co-founders - Garry and Sachin. I have no hesitation in admitting that I am probably one of their biggest fans, both of them. The attitude that they've created Posterous with, the sheer quality of their work, their non-belief in 'beta' rollouts, their humility in accepting feedback and their incomprehensibly quick and accurate email support amazes me. As a startup-lover and an entrepreneur-in-training myself, I must admit that these guys are one of my greatest inspirations, mainly because I have (sort-of) seen their company grow from the beginning (though I would love to get a closer look at the way they work). They're kind enough to share some of their insights and experiences on their own blogs. And to top it all off - both of them are fantastic photographers! :)

Anyway, this is my quick fanboy tribute to the one company I truly admire.

Cheers guys!

I made the switch from tumblr, and manually imported my bests posts from my old blog at wordpress - consolidating it all here. It's been great, a few more features like upload management of files, categories, and adding an image via the web editor to a post - then I'll be set! :D

Posterous is a blast. Cut my blogging time down by alot.

I agree -- uploading and managing files from the web interface would be pretty awesome. Thankfully, there are workarounds that do not hamper posting/editing.
