Traffic: Posterous vs. Blogger

 <span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Arial;">I&rsquo;ve noticed an interesting trend since I&rsquo;ve started using Posterous. Every thing I do in Posterous generates so much more traffic than anything else I use. Now, I am by no means a highly read blogger.&nbsp; I&rsquo;m not even consistent, which is evident by the screen shots below.&nbsp; But what is interesting though is my post&rsquo;s generate a whole lot more traffic when using Posterous.&nbsp; What is even more interesting is it seems viewer ship is also up on those sites&rsquo;s I post to.</span></p> <p><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Arial;"></span></p> <p><span style="font-size:12pt;"><div class='p_embed p_image_embed'>

There are two reasons for this in my opinion, first, I find Posterous is so simple posting things is fun and therefore I post more often.  Second, I post everywhere with the services and because it’s all automated and the process by which I post to these services is centralized it is again easier and more fun.

By posting more often I get more hits and drive up the numbers. Posting is quick, either via email, text, or bookmarklet (I generally use the bookmarklet for sharing content and email for generated content such as this post).

Anyone else notice this trend with their own experiences? Anyone use a different solution?  Comment on it below!

I recently listened to this on NPR and really found some great tips including the amazing Evernote for organizing your paper into digital format.  This is by far the best way to organize your life.  I'm planning on purchasing the full subscription to this service for Christmas.  Keeps my whole life organized!

Simple Blogging Faceoff: Tumblr vs. Posterous

<div class="posterous_bookmarklet_entry">
  <blockquote><div>

Last week, we decided that it wasn’t enough to just wonder which web browser was better; we had to settle the matter in a battle for the ages. So we pitted Mozilla Firefox against Google Chrome, gave them some ammunition, and left it up to you to decide who was the victor. In the end, Firefox beat up on Chrome, 4600 votes to 3310.

Everyone had so much fun with the web browser faceoff though, we decided that we had to do it again. So it’s time to take two of the web’s most popular apps, put them in the ring, and see which one is the people’s choice. Our competitors this week? Two of the most popular simple blogging platforms: Tumblr (

) and Posterous (

).

This isn’t the first time we’ve put these two web services in opposite corners: we compared the two in a head-to-head comparison (Posterous won, but not by much). Since then though, Posterous has added custom themes and Tumblr broke 255 million pageviews.

So which simple blogging platform deserve to earn the title of winner of this week’s Web Faceoff? The answer to that question is up to you. Cast your ballot in the poll below. The voting booth will stay open until noon EST on Friday, October 2nd.

And don’t forget: once you vote, let us know your logic and reasoning in the comments.
