Sharing things about yourself, your thoughts or simply things you’ve read or heard of is one of the fundamentals of any social network. On the internet this often manifests itself into blog posts that you can either send to people you want to inform - or have random people stumbling upon.

Setting up a blog of your own simply to get a place to get links to your thoughts and ideas is a daunting task for many people that simply doesn’t have the skill or time to do so. Well, queue Posterous.com - it’s your instant (not even a signup is required) blog/document sharing site.

All you do is sending your post to their main email account (post@posterous.com) and a few seconds later you receive a link to your post that you can share with anyone you send it to. More frequent users of the service may opt to sign up for an account so that all their posts are kept in one place for others to browse (more like a traditional blog) and you get your very own site URL as per http://[name].posterous.com.

So, if you’re looking for a no frills site that is probably the easiest one I’ve ever come across to post your thoughts, photos, documents or audio files this may be the site for you. As a registered user you start off with 1 Gig of site space which should be plenty to at least allow you to get a sense for how you like the site.
