Having recently discovered Posterous, I'm giving blogging another shot. It's never been an issue of having things to post as much as having a system that fit into my workflow. The simple, but brilliant insight the Posterous folks have is that email is pervasive and simple. Sure, I can't do fancy formatting tricks, but it does a lot of really nice things for me. And lets be honest - there's no shortage of highly customizable blogging platforms out there, but very few simple ones. I needed a simple one. At Big Spaceship we use Chyrp which is a lovely balance of simplicity and flexibility, but for my purposes Posterous seems perfect. We'll see how it goes.

Also worth noting that Posterous' registration process is freaking lovely. Send your first post to them and a confirmation email signs you up. Great balance of promise and simplicity to get people into the experience.
