Posterous With the Mosterous

Today, I'm happy to have some good news to report. This site is run on a platform called Posterous. All I have to do to get photos and text here is email it to Posterous, and seconds later, a new post is up. I have no idea how it works and how they get it to look nice like this, but that's the point - I don't have to, because Posterous makes it so incredibly simple to get things on the Internet.
Posterous was started a few years ago by my friend Sachin Agarwal. Sachin and I worked together on house staff our senior year at Stanford. In the nine years I've known him Sachin has walked me through virtually every technology purchase and troubleshoot I've ever made (I have no idea why he didn't permanently block me from his email years ago) and when he left Apple to launch Posterous, I signed up immediately.
The company has been tremendously successful. And now, Sachin and his co-founders have just been named among the Best Young Tech Entrepreneurs of 2010 by Business Week magazine! Though they've had offers for the company, the team has decided to keep working on their vision and take the site as big as it can go. There's no doubt they will. Congratulations to Sachin, Garry and Brett, and thanks for all your hard work.
