Sadly Posterous will turn off on April 30.
I remember back in 2010 wanting to improve my writing and thinking that blogging would be a good way to go about it but I was unsure how to set one up so my colleague Gavin simply sent an email to post[at]posterous[dot]com on my behalf and voilà I had a blog. Easy peasy! I was thrilled at how painless it was.
I'm not the most frequent blogger out there by any means but having a simple to use (and free) platform like Posterous makes it a whole lot easier when I do feel the urge.
Thanks to everyone at Posterous for providing such a useful service that was a joy to use and a great platform to publish on. It's sad to say goodbye.
