Posterous, 3 Ways of Usage

This is my first post in Posterous.. I think people are using Posterous basically for 3 purposes and or in 3 ways.

1.      As a mail archive

2.      For posting articles that doesn’t have a quality or importance to be published on a Wordpress blog.

3.      Normal blogging

The third one as I seen is very less. I should think about the reason behind this. Is it its default yellow color theme which didn’t impress me or is it the name? Why is it repelling them away from posting in here? Or is it the popularity or Wordpress or blogger? Wordpress and blogger have its own disadvantages, blogger gives freedom, but that itself make it hard to maintain, so Google must think about an alternate option too. Also blogger lacks the beautiful stats graph given by Wordpress and the listing of the referrers, links… wow! I used to spend a lot time counting that, lol! But Wordpress too isn’t free of problems, As a security measure, they blocked script, and customization options are very less. And yea, They are expecting money as money from bloggers, If you are ready to pay, you will definitely have a good time there. Unfortunately I’m not .

            I was highly skeptical about Posterous, but now it’s ok for me. But the purpose of creation of a Posterous account was only for giving a comment on the entry of my class representative in B.Tech part-time course. I’m yet to know in detail about posterous.  So that’s all for now, see you soon.
