Quick Question on Posterous

Danny

My view on this is that Posterous is another "channel' for content. By channel, I mean in it the TV network sense. Using the TV example, you might have the same program (content) showing on different channels.

I don't always 'tune-in' to one of your channels. I'd like the flexibility to see your content on other channels I might be flipping across.

I guess that makes me a vote for Posterous!

I love the short blasts and easy posting capabilities of Posterous - Tumblr has always been a problem for me.

I agree that it is one more place that you will be found...but what I find is that the people who follow me on Posterous are not the same ones that follow me on Twitter or FB!

Danny,
One thing that I've seen beneficial for Posterous is to use it as a reading list of sorts. For example instead of writing up a post on why I liked your WP plugins or just Tweeting it, would tweet out the link to the posterous excerpt plus what I liked on the blog, giving link love while also saying what was beneficial about the post to the reader that might not fit in 140.

Who is your audience? I didn't know you had a Posterous account; apparently, others have one, too.

Because I scan so many bloggers for content, seeking another site where a fave blogger posts seems counter-productive.

It's the balance of what I wrote about recently "When Are You You?" If Posterous lends you that occasional off-the-wall remark you're trying not to insert in this blog, perhaps you're ready to merge a little of that into your presented character and personality here.

Seems if you're now fully self-employed/entrepreneurial with your new gig, you can get away with that now.

Not sure if that helps or not, Danny. Carry on! And thanks for the teachings and musings.

Hi Danny,

As a reader, I vote for one site. Unless of course, you want to address to completely different audiences with very little in common.

Also, from a customer service perspective, why make it harder (by going to a separate site) for people to find the information that you're putting out there?

Cheers!

Have cast my vote and I would definately prefer it all together, here in one place. For me, reading your other stuff here just adds another dimension to you as a person. Having said that you should keep in mind that I am a recovering technical dinosaur so my view is also based on not wanting to go to a load of different places to catch up with peoples stuff I like to read.

I abhor traditional blogs that utilize the Posterous or Tumblr model; they work for their purposes and not for what you provide on dannybrown.me.

Interesting thought. I have more than one Posterous blog and love the flexibility. Depending on the post I decide if I want it fed to my main blog. It's somewhere between twitter and full blog posts for me.

I do believe it is a great starter bloging platform and love the extra pieces like private group blogs.

Now, as a reader I think I'd rather have it all fed to one spot.

Interesting consideration, Danny. It comes down to how you use Posterous. Personally, I like being able to email from anywhere thoughts, ideas, quotes, pics, etc, for my posterous blog, which are not always about business. It can be a less formal environment; More ponderings, than full out post. I notice magazines like Utne keep both types of blogs. Posterous is less about driving traffic and leads, and more about open random communication. I do like the idea of having a mix of 'short form Danny' and full out "Danny post" here, but am keeping you on my posterous subscribe list for any and all blather.

While blogs are great, it's always a good strategy to have multiple "footprints" of information. Posterous has its limitations, but as you show, it can be effective.

Hey Danny,

I run both seperate and but have also been wondering the same question. I still have not come to a conclusion but do have one thought that nags me.

To me getting attention is getting harder, having just one place to be found sounds simpler but does it give you coverage? More sites, more coverage is how my brain processes the question...so I need a third option on your Poll : )
