My answer was Facebook.....and the survey results indicate the same for the majority of Linkedin responses. Common reasons...we like the Facebook platform for networking, building a Brand, navigational ease and some of the functionalities. Some being posting pics, videos, taking surveys, customer interaction, instant feedback and more. Besides the Business side of it I've reconnected with so many cool people from years ago.

Hate to look at it this way, but Posterous seems most useful to people who don't want to put in as much "work" as a blog requires. Am I far off with that?

I have been playing with posterous and there is nothing that it offers me that I can't get out of wordpress. I understand it is not for bloggers, their target audience is anyone who wants to share something using email. They talked about a new iphone app releasing in coming weeks allowing you to post photos to posterous in real time for everyone to see. That is already being done with another iphone app called Clixtr. I think that Clixtr is even better because all you need to do is upload pictures and it will figure out if there is already an event going on at that place a collaborate pictures using geo-targeting, everyhting is in real time. That allows you to see all the pictures taken at that event, not just yours. Lets see what the future holds for Posterous.
