I have been using Posterous for a while. I haven’t write anything about it yet. I might be late to write about it or may be you don’t know it yet. Posterous is very simple service allows you to post everything to anywhere by just emailing to post@posterous.com. It will automatically posts to any services that you have authorized in your account. No signup required (how cool it is), just email to post@posterous.com. It will automatically signup for you with posterous url. (example: youremail.posterous.com). After that you can authorize web sites like Facebook, twitter, Flickr, etc. in your account. Another feature is that you can add another email addresses if you want to allow yourself or someone to post in your Posterous account. You should try it out!

I write about Twitter too much here. Rejaw is a micro blogging service that let you post shouts, replies with your friends, family and co-workers on Rejaw. The service is just launched and not too much to say. There is only one Mac app, Rejaw Radar, is available to update your shouts, whispers and replies on Rejaw. API is also available at Google Groups. Is it another twitter meme?

I just noticed that MyBlogLog refreshed my profile page after I logged in. Profile page shows the latest updates from all of the services of my contacts. When I clicked on new with Me on my profile page. It only shows all the updates from services which I added in MyBlogLog’s setting page. This is a nice change from MyBlogLog because we can get news and information from our contacts’ updates.

Here few notes from Official MyBlogLog blog

• if you’re looking at someone’s profile, you’ll see a list of updates from their services
• if you’re looking at your own profile, you’ll see a collective view of updates from all your contacts
• on any page, you can toggle to the other view

The updates are pulled from public data available from the services you’ve entered into your MyBlogLog profile. The more services you add, the richer this section will become.

You can join this blog or Add me as your contact.

On that day Bloggers will recommend other blogs to their blog visitors.

As they said in Blog Day site

What will happen on BlogDay?

one long moment on August 31st, bloggers from all over the world will post recommendations of 5 new Blogs, preferably Blogs that are different from their own culture, point of view and attitude. On this day, blog readers will find themselves leaping around and discovering new, unknown Blogs, celebrating the discovery of new people and new bloggers.

BlogDay posting instructions:

Bloggers around the world who participate in Blog Action Day will post a single topic on October 15, 2007. The topic is “Environment“. Your post can be anything which is related to environment.

For example, if you had a blog about programming and technology, you could write about applications used for the environment, how to make your office more sustainable, how to stop wasting paper, why technology will save the environment, or just write about an environmental issue which has nothing to do with programming!

There are three things you can do to participate in Blog Action Day.

• Post on October 15th relating to the environment
