Collective memory realized?

If you, like I do, like to share information, photos, links and videos online through your Facebook account, Twitter account, Myspace account, Flickr account, and so on and so on, this new site is for you. It’s called Posterous. Just like ping.fm you can use it to post stuff to various accounts at the same time. This way you don’t have to update your various accounts every time you just want to share a simple link. The difference is that ping.fm uses a web interface, but Posterous uses something as oldschool as email. Imagine that. you just send an email with your first content to post@posterous.com and they set up a site for you instantly. No creating accounts or anything like that. You the update the site with your post simply by emailing that same address. The site knows it you mailing and posts the content of the mail to your profile. Links, videos, photos, the works…

I like the idea that all these different sites and services like Twitter and Facebook are joined via services like Posterous. It makes the internet work like one big machine, and essentially is putting the information stream back in the hands of the users. You make the sites, by the content you upload.
Check out Posterous at posterous.com. If you don’t get, you probably don’t need it :-)
