#Posterous on Reuters.com - An interview with Sachin Agarwal @a4agarwal

There are so many different websites that try to tackle the problem of media sharing. But why is Posterous different?

Most people don't check websites everyday, some don't know how to use RSS, and they don't go out to look for media to consume.

And that's where Posterous comes in, they push your stuff out to all your social networks, and they email your friends and family every time you post.

Sachin, on email: "Email is the #1 thing everyone uses everyday. ... People who say that email is dead are really not thinking about what they use on a day-to-day basis. ... There are more people who use email than who surf the web."

Posterous is developing a premium version for business and high-end users who need more storage, more customizability, more ways to monetize their blogs, etc.

I say this company is definitely moving in the right direction. Good job, Sachin and team!
