Except the people like me who use a custom domain, those of us had to go back to our domain register and make an A Record change. I use www.GoDaddy.com to register this domain, so the the A Record change was fast and easy with the Total DNS settings.
Will yesterday's D.o.S. make me reconsider moving this domain back to a Wordpress, Tumblr, Blogger or other blogging platform? No. Posterous makes sharing a quick link, a thought, a few photographs, a video or whatever as simple as possible and across all the Social Networks I use in one posting.
Before this incident there has only been one time that I did contact their Help Desk and then I had a reply fast and the problem fixed in no time. In the case of the D.o.S. downtime, Posterous sent an e-mail to let me know the problem before I had a chance to discover it for myself. I've been publishing to the Internet since the 80s and I haven't seen a company or service address issues as fast as Posterous has so far.
If you have not tried Posterous and are looking for a simple way to blog or just share your photos and video, you should. You can get started fast by just creating an e-mail with what is on your mind, maybe attach a photograph then send it to post@posterous.com. You'll will get a reply via e-mail letting you know that your own Posterous is up and ready for you use start sharing with the world.
