The return of the blog
I was listening to This Week In Tech (TWiT) and Leo Laporte said something that really hit home for me. In a nutshell, he made a statement that there will be a return to "the blog". His comment included an interesting statement that people were putting a lot of effort into microblogs and are not able to retain some of that content. I can see that. I have used Twitter for about a year, but I found it lacking real "depth". It is pretty shallow in what it can do.
I don't know if that was my reasoning. However, I will say that Posterous was a big reason for my return to blogging. I heard about it through Leo's podcast and through Andy Ihnatko's postings as well. Posterous makes posting so easy. Still, the big value added is it's ability to add rich media content easily. So, even before Leo's comment, I fully credit Posterous for bringing me back to blogging. (Disclaimer: I don't work for Posterous, but I like their stuff.)
In closing, I wanted to thank Posterous for bringing me back to blogging. I left blogging behind because it was too tough to simply get a jpeg to show up in my previous blog. Now, no worries. I just compose an email, attach the image and off it goes. Thanks Posterous!
