Thanks for the note, Greg. I suppose someone COULD make Posterous their "website," but it doesn't have all the features I enjoy -- and need -- in a blog/CMS. By the way, I've subscribed to the New Avenue RSS feed. Lots of good marketing insight on your blog that I'm sure will benefit me.

Like Ed's blog, and mine at www.newavenue.com, your blog IS your website. On your website, we want to get some info about your background, services and contact info, but we really want to see how you think and what's important to you. A blog is ideal for that...at least right now. :) Greg Posterous is useful and different, but it isn’t where people typically go to see your content just yet.

That's always fun to deliver! I like Posterous a lot, and used it recently to document my summer vacation and other summer fun ( http://edtankersley.posterous.com ). But I don't see Posterous as "where blogging is headed." It's just another platform, albeit one that is super simple to use, powerful, and has a built-in social networking capability. For me, interesting and relevant content will always be the key to success with blogs. For blogging platforms, I think it's a good idea to match your needs with the platform's capabilities. I'm extremely pleased with the power and flexibility of WordPress for this site and blog, as well as others I've put together for clients.

Wondering what your take is on this. Hi Ed,
