Gadgetell | Tech News, Reviews, and Interesting Things

1. Who are you?
I am the co-founder of Posterous.com.  Posterous is the easiest way to publish anything online.  You simply send an email to post@posterous.com and attach photos, video, audio, anything at all.  We’ll convert everything to a web-friendly format, host it all, and put it online for free.  You can send us anything and we’ll make it look good.

2. Facebook, Twitter, or something else and why?
I was really into Facebook last year, checking it constantly.  I loved seeing friends’ photos and updates.  I started using Twitter when I started Posterous.com since it’s so big in the web community.  And the more I use it, the more value I find in it.  Being able to follow smart people who are normally not accessible is incredibly powerful.  I’m not into updating Twitter every time I do something—that’s just weird.  But, I love sharing photos and links and ingesting the same from others.

3. Gadget you couldn’t live without (and why)?
This is probably your most common answer, but my iPhone.  First of all, I’m always on the phone.  I haven’t had a landline in 10 years and I’ve always needed tons of minutes each month.  But then the iPhone adds so much more.  I do use it as an iPod, I do use it for maps, Twitter, and a camera.  It really has changed my life in so many ways.  I am constantly pulling it out my pocket for so many reasons.  The only problem with it is it’s too useful for its own battery life.

4. Most regrettable piece of tech you own
I’ve definitely owned some bizarre stuff in the past.  A Cross Crosspad.  A portable minidisk player.  But generally I’m really good about getting rid of bad products on eBay (hopefully before other people figure out they suck so I can get my money back!).  So, I don’t have too much old junk lying around the house.  I am very proud of my Apple + Mac collection, about 8 computers in all, including a G4 cube that I used in college.  I love that machine.

5. If you could wish a gadget into existence, what would it be?
Right now I’d love a 15” Macbook Air with 3G.  Basically I want a very small, light, thin laptop that’s always connected.  The smaller the better.
