I am a big fan of posterous for small business bloggers. It’s very easy to set up, totally easy to learn and the photo display/slide show feature is beautiful.

I’ve got blogs on all the free platforms, and they each have strengths when you know what you’re doing – but posterous is definitely the easiest.

Another thing I forgot to mention in my previous comment is that if you choose to use Posterous, there is a way you can set that up to automatically update various other social media blogs all at once! So, from sending one email to your post@posterous.com… you could update your flickr, tumblr, wordpress, blogger, twitter and youtube (and a few more I think)! For someone looking to manage a social media campaign it could be considered a pretty efficient way to keep your channels updated on the fly!

On the Web Design scene, a lot of the top niche industry Designers are actually starting to dabble in Tumblr theme design. A few of these celeb Designers have started to use Tumblr for their personal blogs, and have sparked a lot more interest in theme design for Tumblr. So this time next year there could be an abundance of new Tumblr themes, ultimately benefiting the users out there!

P.S. It may be evident now I spend too much time online.

I’m new to blogging and I’m using Posterous because you don’t need anyone’s help in getting it set up & you can email posts or photos from anywhere – so as long as you aren’t overly precious about look & feel, it’s very very easy.

That’s a pretty good summary of the free blogs out there, and should give non-web savvy people a clear idea of their options. WordPress really has emerged as “the daddy” of the blogs now. I can’t remember where I read it, but WordPress is powering something like 8% of the sites on the internet now!

Tumblr is definitely dominating the micro-blogging world now too. For the casual, informal blogging it is easily the best option. Their system is really well designed, and it’s simplicity is probably why is it the leading micro-blog, and leading the way. Posterous has more features, but they are not necessarily features that the casual blogger needs.
