as the posterous spokesperson alludes to in the comments, he is probably better off elsewhere.
i totally get the gripe, and i do sympathize, but it's a free service and at the end of the day it's not something that shows up on the radar screen for a large majority of their users..

Didn't notice that. Good to know, I was thinking about using Posterous as a super super easy way for some of clients to populate their blogs. That would have been a big mistake on my side!
I'm surprised its not because of that ridiculous floating toolbar.
Yup, that's why I picked Tumblr over Posterous. The toolbar is just ugly, I'd be fine if I could make it that 2D tag they used to have, but I couldn't get it to work.
Tumblr is definitely less stable, but my blog isn't that important anyways.

Anyone have thoughts on Tumblr versus Posterous? Any recommendations?
Moved back to Tumblr after 6 months with Posterous » http://vijei.tumblr.com/amp
Tumblr lets me use script tags at will, and that opens up a whole world of customization possibilities that I didn't have on Posterous. There's only so much you can do with iframes before running into cross-domain roadblocks.

I just moved back to Tumblr after using Posterous for 6 months or so. I finally got tired of the slow page loads and buggy editor I experienced using Posterous.
Posterous crashes my browser (Opera 10.63, on Gentoo Linux) about 40% of the time it loads. If Opera wasn't so good at saving my tabs I'd probably have stopped using Posterous.
You're using a hosted blogging service. And you're surprised that they want to drive traffic to the version of the content that they're hosting? I agree with their comments: You're better off somewhere else.
The response was dismissive because his whine deserved to be dismissed.

However, this isn't true for all our users, especially those who are using us to autopost to other sites.
We'll make this a theme element so that it can be removed if desired.
Thanks
