Why Posterous is Great!

Ever since I discovered Posterous I have become severely addicted but I couldn't really put my finger on why....until now. I randomly found myself browsing through youtube videos on my iPod Touch and came across the trailer for Crank 2 and thought that it was pretty cool and I wanted to put a link on Twitter to it but then I had a thought which defined my love for Posterous by just using my iPod Touch. The steps I followed were:

- Finding the YouTube link for the Crank 2 video
- I then put it into a email using my Gmail account added some text and sent it to post@posterous.com
- I then opened up Twitterfon where my Posterous link was waiting for me which allowed me to view my Posterous page
- I viewed my message on my Posterous page which converted my link into an embedded YouTube video where I could play it again

I imagine this all seems very trivial and possibly quite sad to some but it blew my mind linking all of those programs on my MOBILE device. It really is a joint love for my iPod Touch to be honest but the basic concept of using an email account to post to a blog is truly an inspired idea. Anyway that is my attempt to explain why I think Posterous is great :)

I am officially addicted to Google Analytics

After discovering Posterous has the feature of using Google Analytics with each page I thought I would try it out and I have to say I am hooked. The amount of statistics and interesting data on show is incredible, it is possible to find out almost everything about the people who have viewed my page ranging from which operating system and browser they were using to the keywords used in a search engine to find it. 

My favourite feature has to be the map though, it shows the locations where the visitors accessed my page as a graphical representation and it fantastic to see where people in the world have read my page.

I encourage all website, blog and also Posterous owners to sign up for Google Analytics if they haven't already as it is completely free and all that is required is a googlemail address.
