I was messing around with some email APIs. Its just a proof of concept.

Roadmap: - Linking to an RSS feed - Mobile friendly blogs - Photo posts via attachments

I like the idea of having an e-mail based web service, but I'm not sure if blogging is the right service to be used by email. A big part of blogging is hyperlinks to other parts of the web, and putting in hyperlinks into an e-mail is a little troublesome. In addition to tweets, embedding content (such as videos and tweets) is also difficult.

But at the same time, I really like the idea of using email to publish something to the web.

Could I tie in my existing tumblr or wordpress or other blogging platform account then do posts like that?
