It's about time. Posterous is the best blogging platform ever. Times five.

  I still really love the Manila/Radio Userland/Frontier platform for blogging and writing and still use the OPML editor (now under GPL) on the mac. There was an publish via email feature way back in 2001-02 as well as the whole EditThisPage idea. Of course Posterous is really cool too and has a ton more dev going into it now but I really like the idea of the OPML outliner and outliner software in general for writing and blogging however the masses don't seem to agree with me.

    I'm not a fan of outliner software personally, but I do keep yelling at them* to support Markdown or Textile so I can compose and send my e-mails straight from vim. One of the beautiful things about Posterous is that it is basically just... email! So if a standard syntax like textile or markdown were supported, you could write it in whatever you want. In your case, you could write it in OPML, write a script to convert it to textile/markdown, then pipe it to sendmail. Done! * "them" being Garry, because everything is really his fault. Sachin is a good guy.

      I admit, it's my fault.

  Yeah, it was pretty good. I only noticed a few things I'd change.
