Excellent post Damond! I will definitely try it out.

One thing that confused me when I first heard about Posterous was why would I use Friendfeed and Posterous? But after some digging I finally clued into the fact that Friendfeed focuses on lifestreaming links to your content and activity around the Web whereas Posterous actually stores the content and, from what I can tell, only the content you post directly to Posterous (although you can import your blogs). I must be missing something more with posterous though, because if it were truly a lifestreaming service, then you should technically be able to also record your activity on the internet in a pull in fashion as opposed to it being mostly a push out application. Just thought I'd throw this in for those like me, trying to figure out where this service fits in to their workflow. However I think it was in another post where you mentioned the importance of redundancy in your social networks. I couldn't agree more!

Nevertheless, I know all these different apps are too overwhelming for the average user, which is what I believe Facebook is trying to address. They want to be the majority's posterous/friendfeed combination.

Interesting times.
