This service seemed so simple so I had try it out. http://posterous.com/

In short you can post to your all of your  content distribution points via your email or  via a posterous  bookmarklet in your browser.

I signed up and first port as usual is the profile page where I edited my user data by adding the same old greyscale photo I’ve been using sometime now and then changed the theme to match my main sites. I also made sure at sign up that the posterous URL contains my company name which unsurprisingly includes my keywords.

To get the system set up for content sharing you have to go through the usual steps of handing over your passwords which I do with one eye on the future when the service goes down and my passwords get scattered across cyberspace – or maybe I’m paranoid. But once you’ve got over that you can start your messing about.

Getting down to business I decided to use the bookmarklet first and posted directly to my posterous site. Here are the results http://brooksdigitalmarketing.posterous.com/ . Personally I think it looks ok but I’m not particularly bothered since it is more a stepping stone to my main site.

When you post via email which I used for this post you can specify whether or not you want to post to all usingthe post@ syntax or you can use a selection of other; for this I used blog@.

I would recommend reading the FAQ sections as there is a lot you can do with this but in truth I’m a novice so can’t offer any more wisdom. What I do know is that the posterous pages get cached and the links are not nofollowed so there seems to be some link love available.

Give it a spin and see what you think.
