I laughed at Posterous, but they proved me wrong
I'd be interested in some stats on how many Posterous posts are made by email vs being made on the site itself. I've got a Posterous and I've yet to make a post by email. My reasoning is that making a blog post is such an involved task that I'm not deterred by the process of logging in and doing it from their site.The main draw of Posterous to me has been the quality: The blogs look great as-is, they have a powerful HTML/CSS editor, the comments are great, etc.
