I have no desire to start another blog. I have a million of them already. However, I'm always up for the opportunity to try something for the first time.
I recently used a text to Tweet, which seemed a bit of a retro step given that I did it on an iPhone with half a dozen Twitter apps loaded on it. Yes, it worked - but, I'm not certain I'd have a reason to use it - unless I lost all WiFi and 3G connectivity, and yet managed to retain a telephone signal. I suppose this might have worked when I was in Wales last year in a complete data signal blackspot. I could cross my fingers and hope that the text message would find its way into the outside world.
So, here I have the chance to email my blog entries. However, I would normally do that from the iPhone as well using the WordPress app I downloaded. I can reach any of my blogs and upload an entry. Or just take a picture and upload it. I suspect if I set up my WordPress blogs the right way I could email to them as well.
Still... enough of the wittering. I'm not complaining or anything. I'm simply wondering which niche Posterous fills in the market. Does having a blog you can email to make enough of a difference to take business away from the blogs with more 'traditional' means of input?
