If you were looking for in these simple and quick method of creating posts on the fly, Posterous could be a great program for you to use.  You have the ability to connect multiple accounts to this site so that your posts or automatically shared with other online sources.  In this test, I have linked twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, YouTube and my BobsTechTalk Blog. Will these sites get updated automatically as on a post new entries into the Posterous blog site.  Now here is the interesting part.  You are able to easily add entries by either emailing your message to the site, Texting to this site, or making a web entry to the site itself.

imageThe site is very simplistic, so don't expect a lot of extra capabilities.  I have not tried live writer as of yet to see whether it could post directly to this site, so that will be something that I will try as time permits.  If you send a video or attach photos to your e-mail when sending it to the site, it will be posted with the pictures, and will update the picture galleries and the sites that can accept pictures from you.  You have the ability to add connections too many different sites and I am sure they will be continuing to add more as time goes on.  So if you want a quick way to post a single entry two multiple sites in one fell swoop, this might be one quick and easy method of doing so.

But me know what you think of this program.  I'd be interested in how many if you are using it or if you find it useful.

Posterous Also Has A Web Form To Post Messages From

You were also able to post messages through a web form from the Posterous website.  It makes it very easy to post a message correctly without having to worry about what e-mail you're sending the message from. It has a simple airfare use without a lot of extra capabilities, and if you are only needing to send a simple message then this should work just fine.

What I don't see, is the ability to insert images easily or videos.  I do put a lot of rich information into my posts so this will probably not work for me in a day and day out usage.  However, if you need quick documentation of things that you were doing, or status updates that misapplication should work just fine.
