## Overview

- **Who it's for**: Bloggers and casual writers who wanted to publish text, photos, and other media online without dealing with setup or configuration.
- **What you get**: An email-to-blog publishing system where users could post content simply by sending an email, along with a hosted blog theme and 'Posterous Spaces' for group or multi-author sites. It supported embedding photos, video, and audio directly in posts, and let users auto-post content to other services like Twitter and Facebook. No self-hosting or software installation was required.
- **How it works**: Users signed up for a free account and published by emailing posts (with attachments) to a dedicated address or using the web interface, and Posterous automatically formatted and published the content to a hosted blog.
