The Online Sticky Note


Nothing can ever replace it. The age-old yellow sticky pad that faithfully sits on our desks-ready to be used at any moment. Nothing could ever replace that cute, endearing notepad. And its matching pen. But, something can come dangerously close. So close, it can take the "post-it" name.

Posterous is an online vehicle where we can post anything. No account needed. Just like the paper sticky pad-just write it down and go.

This inventive site uploads documents, MP3 files, audio, photos, and more. By emailing posterous whatever you need to upload, posterous emails you back with your own site to use in the future. So-need to share a photo, but don't want to show Mom your Facebook? Send it to posterous-and they'll send you a link back that is safe to share.

Posterous even has its own blog, where new ideas of how to use posterous are posted (no pun intended). Maybe I'm getting a little carried away. But this is the type of tool to keep in your back pocket when you need to upload something in a new, safe place.

Your sticky pad might feel threatened. So, pick it up and write this website down.
