Posterous: Minimalist Blogging
Posterous is such a simple microblogging platform, it almost makes Tumblr look overly complicated. The Y Combinator funded startup is a bit of a mix between a blogging and lifestreaming service, with a little dose of Twitter thrown in for good measure. To start using it, users only have to send an email to post AT posterous.com and, within a few minutes, posterous will respond with the address for the new blog.

Today the Times writes in two separate stories how techniques and technologies pioneered by citizen journalism are changing the way we get news.
